From Guardian #Coronation Live Blog:
"A significant police operation is under way in central London. We have made a number of arrests in the area of Carlton House Terrace. The individuals have been held on suspicion of breaching the peace."
SUSPICION of breaching the peace. Not ACTUALLY breaching the peace.
Also from Trafalgar Square, police have erected giant barricades so reublican flags have been obscured.

Also from the article in the previous post:
"“I’ve absolutely not brought any eggs”, he said. “My parole officer tells me counter-terrorism is following me. I am sure that I will be arrested anyway. It will be interesting to see how far we have descended into being a fascist country.”
Followed by COUNTER-TERRORISM.

@Geri From the article below:
"Some were shouting ‘burn the yellow flags’ earlier".
This is NOT normal behaviour.
EDIT: Also from the same article:
"The presence of 11,500 police officers, the largest police operation ever seen in the UK, was not entirely reassuring to all of those who had gathered to make their opposition to the monarchy felt."
That's FIVE cops for each protestor. Over-reacting much?

@Geri I'd get yourself ready to conceive of it. I imagine plans have already been made to make room for the projected 2,000 (a figure I saw reported yesterday).
