Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

For the vast majority of us, it is something we haven't witnessed in our lifetime. I found it both fascinating and enjoyable.

I walked down to the gym mid morning, never seen so little traffic on a Saturday. Some of the shops and businesses were closed, most noticeably our large independent department store.

Watched the parade when I got home, thoroughly enjoyed that, we certainly know how to put on the pageantry.

So tell me what are these new laws that were introduced this week then if not to do just that?


They are designed to prohibit protests (that are supposedly considered a right as enshrined in the ECHR), nothing to do with public order stuff that you just made up.

The discipline and precision displayed in the execution of the parade was truly remarkable.

My baler is now working perfectly. I suspect no one's looked at it since 1953 so it fits in quite nicely. I did get caught up and swore. Nothing to do with allegiance though.

I've had a good morning. Hope everyone else did too ..

Perhaps synchronous walking in funny hats should be an olympic sport. Team GB would so win that.

At least it won’t be 70 years for another service FR ;-)

You've got a strange way with words, or perhaps you’re just rude. I didn’t make anything up. I’m talking about public order in the real sense of the words. A situation where the general public may get injured because of violence going on around them.

No arrests at Easter road when there was a protest.

It does make you wonder what a policeman should do if asked to enforce a UK law that is in breach of an international human rights law.

About This Thread

Maintained by Muttley
So will you be waving your little union jack and pledging your allegiance and scoffing coronation chicken or quiche at a street party?

Or ignoring the whole bloated exhibition of flummery and forelock tugging to inherited privilege and finding more important things to do?

I'm in the latter camp :-)
