Yes, did you have a point to go with that amazingly insightful question?The 4 people that were charged and sent to court for trial by jury?
I only offered that as a secondary point.

Apparently 87 of them shouldn't have been arrested as they didn't commit an offence...
By a Jury of statue toppling lefties from Bristol, yes!!!The 4 people that were charged and sent to court for trial by jury?
Did you quote the wrong person?Yes, did you have a point to go with that amazingly insightful question?
One catapult? The police should have just left that out... now it looks ridiculous and unbelievable.
I did ..Did you quote the wrong person?
You can get handhold ones.
Well I am suggesting someone might assume that since it wasn't explicitly stated as handheld, doesn't really matter anyway tbh I just thought it was silly.I could be wrong, but I don't think StriderX was suggesting that someone had brought one of those gid big ones from ancient Greece.

I think there an opening in the market, shame I'm not a carpenter.I could be wrong, but I don't think StriderX was suggesting that someone had brought one of those gid big ones from ancient Greece.
Suspect the police are using the same laws that some on here are cheering about being used on JSO protestors, you know the one about having to seek permission to demonstrate.
Yeah I suspect that the thug team last night didn't have permission to hold their protest there at all so after being asked to move on they got the same treatment, arrest to remove them and then de-arrest at another location.
Whats good enough for one load of gormless morons is good enough for all the gormless morons.
Din du nuffin wrang, police just arresting anyone etc.
Peaceful protest to take back their country iirc.
I'd have to agree, who would have thought that powers peddled as just being able to stop highly disruptive protests would be abused to extend to confining any protests they don't like the look of.. Could have seen that coming a mile away!Ahahahahaha chickens coming home to roost for all the pathetic people who supported more government and police power over themselves.
One dude packing his trebuchet now.I could be wrong, but I don't think StriderX was suggesting that someone had brought one of those gid big ones from ancient Greece.

Why be disingenuous about it..
The BBC article says "Jailing Banks, Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said: "I accept you were drunk and did not know where you were urinating."" - so he wasn't deliberately defacing it.. just caught short and still got 18 days in prison.
Yet we can contrast that with the Acquittal of the 4 people in Bristol who literally toppled a statue and threw it in the river in the name of BLM..
They got an acquittal because they were correct to topple the statue. A jury found this to be true. The law was clear, that statue should have been toppled years ago. So much so, the police who erroneously tried to charge the heroes who did it couldn’t even argue legally for a retrial.
I’d like to see you argue that it was legally ok to **** yourself drunk on public property in front of people because of self inflicted intoxication.
Isn't that effectively what that report is saying though? 87 arrested for contravening an order, which was extremely restrictive , i.e. from 19:00 to 20:30 with immediate dispersal, and confined to a tiny static area..
Reading their other reports for the last time they used these orders, the PSC and Enough is Enough protests on the same day/weekend, they allowed PSC to have a full on March, Enough is Enough was again limited to a small static protest.. How is that fair? surely people should be able to demonstrate peacefully where ever and whenever they wish (within sensible reason of course), it seems almost deliberate to make an order that restrictive for one group.

Really?
If we're at the stage where even one person assumes it's a full-size catapult because it's not explicitly stated as a handheld, then there's no saving us.
What law? I agree that sentiment and feelings towards who/what the statue represents made many people believe it was just to topple the statue. I think your fibbing if you think there is a law that justifies criminal damage based on feelings.The law was clear, that statue should have been toppled years ago.
