Trump's previous visit to London/UK was improved by plenty harsh but legal protest, as will this one.
Whoever did this specific one probably didn't have a permit, and wouldn't have gotten one either because of the king (of the UK!).
Anyhow "arrested on suspicion" in the UK does not evoke the same horror scenarios as it does in the USA. Not saying British law & enforcement are beyond reproach though.
It dose now it is clearly being used as a act to silence political protest.
Suspicious of malicious communication. When it is very clear the intent was to protest gov actions. And not to threaten or offend.
Is entirely about silencing gov opposition and in no way acceptable or democratic.
Silence protest, yes. "Involuntary lethal injection"... not yet.
