Once a solicitor, I now write about family law.

If you are British, what do you feel when you see such imagery?
For me, I cringe with embarrassment.
Anachronistic clap trap, the lot of it that serves only to perpetuate our class ridden society.
When will we grow up and move on?

@Charonqc Oh dear. Things OK here. Thought of you the other day when I watched this video, filmed not far from you: https://t.co/8skWER60gm

@CharlieChessCat The RSPCA called him 'Ed'. May expand that to 'Edward'. 🙂

@nearlylegal Well, they can always nip out to Foyles while you're speaking, as I may have been known to do during certain lectures. 😉

@AdamWagner1 @metpoliceuk Another disturbing aspect of the police behaviour that isn't getting much attention is that it was reported that the police erected barriers to obscure Republic's banners. Obviously, such action is not the function of the police.

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@Otto_English And that assumes that patriotism is a "good thing" per se. Seems to me that it is responsible for much division in the world.

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@ObiterJ @pjm1kbw @AdamWagner1 @mcdermottkc_ 'Nipped in the bud'? There had been no trouble - Republic hadn't even set up! They had liaised with the police beforehand. Police knew what they intended, and had not indicated any objection. Hopefully, false imprisonment damages will be sufficiently high to make police rethink.

@pjm1kbw @mcdermottkc_ @AdamWagner1 Your thoughts on this?

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Republican protesters being arrested and their placards confiscated ahead of the coronation.

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@pjm1kbw @ObiterJ @AdamWagner1 @mcdermottkc_ Whatever. Obviously just one arrest without just cause is one too many.

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@pjm1kbw @AdamWagner1 @mcdermottkc_ Six too many, and not quite as planned. See this, including 30p Lee's genius contribution: https://t.co/w0lHSTgTC7

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@AdamWagner1 @pjm1kbw @mcdermottkc_ Thanks for that. Not sure why in this instance the police might have had reason to believe an offence was about to occur.

[John Bolch @johnbolch]

@pjm1kbw @mcdermottkc_ @AdamWagner1 Well, we can all hope for a better future.

Or is that not allowed either now?
