It seems that the police are now using the new policing act to arrest and charge people for protesting in public in relation to the death of the queen.
The incident below was certainly disrespectful given the circumstances but arrest and charged? - really
It seems that holding a blank sheet of paper can get the law involved.
And someone else arrested for actually holding a piece of paper with writing on it - echoes of the Oyston 'we are thieves' case - which incidentally they lost in court
And PNE getting involved as well, this ban is probably illegal and it looks like it's going to be tested in the courts.
What sort of country have we become where if you protest against something in a peaceful manner you could end up with an arrest and charge or even a ban from watching your football team?
