She's now insisting I shouldn't go since I'll end up getting arrested because most protests end up getting out of hand and arrests are made :fp:


:lol:

I think the only solution now is to go and make sure that you get arrested. You don't want to prove your mum wrong and you owe it to her to spend a night in the cells.

Reassure her you can't get arrested if you go down fighting

Hey if she's paying your train fare and lunch money, she gets a say in what you get up to.

Lagamorph: You're so overprotective Mum, why would I be arrested at a protest?

Bail? What do you think this is, a democracy obeying the rule of law?

What when money could be exchanged? I think they would happily arrest Lagamorph and hold him hostage. worth it to keep him out of the pictures/gif thread

Protesters managed to block the road outside the town hall in Worthing last night. Alas I cant find any info about forthcoming protests.

In all seriousness...

Protests aren't wrong, but despite this the police are still often sent to break them up. The Green & Black Cross have the following key pieces of advice for protestors when dealing with the police:
1. Under Stop & Search, you don't have to confirm your name.
2. You can always ask police "what power?" they are using and why.
3. Give "no comment" to all questions.
4. If arrested, arrange your own solicitor (preferably from the Netpol recommendations). The GBC legal hotline can help at 07946 541 511.
5. Never accept a caution (except under advice from a solicitor).

None of us are criminals (I hope anyway!), so it would usually be fine for us to be friendly and cooperative with police. Protests are a little bit different. While I'm sure the vast majority of people who attend a protest won't have bad interactions with police, at a protest they're simply not there to look out for you, so it's better safe than sorry.

It's a way away yet, but there is a People's Vote march scheduled for Saturday 19th October. I've heard that they expect it to be the biggest mass protest the UK has ever had.

Loads of people whinging on LBC last night about the actions of Remainers protesting. I really don't see the problem. Provided the protestors remain peaceful, they should be encouraged to exercise their democratic right to protest.

Unless of course, people think the right to protest has now be prorogued too.

I fully support the protests. You don't just suspend democracy to force through law.

They're not even forcing through law.
They're suspending democracy to prevent them being stopped from letting us crash out under no deal by default.
