Protestors have turned out in force at Cardiff Castle to mark King Charles’s first visit to Wales since ascending the throne. 🔴 One poster read: “We want real democracy, a Welsh republic.”

The protest was called in response to the King’s decision to name his son William as Prince of Wales in his first speech as monarch last Friday.

Activist and former Senedd Member for Plaid Cymru Bethan Sayed said: “As soon as King Charles III decided to announce that Prince William should become Prince of Wales, so soon after the death of the Queen, many of us felt compelled to respond.“People tell us that now is not the time to discuss this issue, however, when the monarchy passes from the incumbent to a new King, now is exactly the time to discuss this matter.

Section 5 of the Public Order Act gives police in England and Wales the power to arrest someone whose behaviour may cause harassment, alarm or distress. Protesters may be fined if charged with this offence.

pontyinparis A 'small number'? No. And I'd never assume a Welsh flag to be a show of support for the english monarchy.

Anglo Imperialism and Colonialism is coming to an end in Cymru. Slavery Abolition Act, (1833), in British history, act of Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies. Yet they carried on with Imperialism and Colonial shit in Cymru. End it now.

How many protesters? Five? Wexit has very little support in Wales.

So who are they nominating for president? Good luck with that one. Be careful that what you wish for doesn't turn out to be a Welsh Donald Trump. An independent King and Prince of Wales, with their patronage and soft power, may be seen to have been, after all, a treasure lost.

Yorkshire MP raises free speech concerns over anti-monarchy protester arrests🗣 “I speak as a strong monarchist, but nevertheless, I hope that members of the public will remain free to share their opinions and protest in regard to issues about which they feel strongly.” He doesn't realise his party/government/Patel have outlawed protesting with banners. How remiss of him. Was he doing something else when they passed that law
