I seen some on-line information about a weekend of rage over the next bank holiday weekend towards end of August.
I’m sure the Police have seen it. Or one would hope so.
I can't help contrasting the police response with that of K Charles coronation where the police swooped in & picked up just about anyone intending to protest on the morning of the coronation.
==> the police can certainly do it if they want to...
They even arrested the "official" protestors that they themselves approved...
I think initially the Police were caught off guard. They must see thousands of posts online about potential incidents occurring. With limited resources someone has to make a judgement call. Obviously on this occasion they got it wrong and someone made a huge mistake.
But I don’t think you can compare it to protecting the Royal Family. Especially the Queen and now King. Any harm, however big or small against the head of state and/or PM would be seen as a monumental security lapse. Rather like someone being able to shoot current or former US presidents etc. Who would want that on their CV ?
Yes, first role of a country is to protect its citizens regardless of gender or skin colour. But unfortunately, the peasants, have always been 2nd class citizens. Your role in life is to pay your taxes, do as your told, don’t rock the boat and die before you can get your state pension.
