Graham smith was in communication with the police for months. They stated that peaceful protest would be tolerated. Then he suddenly received a threatening letter from the met that he would be arrested if he turned up. So he communicated for clarification, and the threatening letter was rescinded and he was told it was fine for peaceful protest. Now he’s arrested as he arrives.
Make no mistake, he has been targeted for daring to use his freedom of speech for years to draw attention to the reality of having a monarchy. He has done it in a controlled, even handed and honest way. This is an abject failure of his rights, harassment, intimidation and illegal. He will be compensated for it, eventually, after a smear campaign, and the public will end up paying him compensation, not the royals.
