If this happened in a foreign country we’d be in uproar

so why did they let BLM go ahead with no problems

Bet they all voted for Bexit.

Good.

And what was interesting from the news videos, but NOT mentioned by the Guardian, were the number of BAMEs in the crowds. Yo couldn't make it up.

Well done 👍

Hitler would be so proud of the police 🥰So proud 🙄🤬

Maybe that’s the answer. Get all the family out on a small protest together. Crackers and mince pies optional🎅🏼

When are the government going to come out and condemn these dangerous idiots

Stay tuned for new spoke of Covid cases.

Can someone remind me how many ppl were arrested by metpoliceuk during BLM and Extinxtion Rebellion demonstrations both of whom turned violent? Asking for a friend.

I hope they followed the rules to put the arrestees 2m apart😒

Why didn't they arrest any of the BLM tossers during the summer?

the police are insane, this needs to stop. the world now is like nazi germany in the 30s. when will the leaders follow science and stop all this bullshit scam?

Comrade Stalin would be so proud.

We can't even keep a known and admitted killer behind bars.

Lock them up as a danger to public health. 14 days quarantine should do it.

Good, lockup the Antilockdown idiots.

They should have had BLM flags

A mostly peaceful protest then.

Police hate lockdown just as much.

The lockdown they’re protesting against ends on Wednesday anyway, doesn’t it? 🤷‍♀️

Police arrest protesters ... Just like in Belarus. But no, it's the UK, it's different, my bad 🖤👮

Fuck the police ACAB

England jails protesters? I thought it was a democratic country, not a third world. Must be that ... influence.

Fascism.

Pennsylvania Judge declares election unconstitutional and so basically hands the election to Trump.

The nazis arrested over 100 innocent people.. 👏👏👏👏 well done you do that when BLM WERE MARCHING AND PULLING DOWN OUR NATIONAL STATUES? OR WERE YOU HIDING SO AS NOT TO BE CALLED RACISTS ? LOL DISGUSTING.

Anti-lockdown protesters must go through mandatory education about COVID19 infections and its impact on humans.

If only they were BLM protesters. There would have been no arrests with the police on their knees. Absolute joke.

BBC said 60. On 200,000+ pretty low performance.

Irony isn’t dead.

But a few muslim terrorists, baah

police cpsuk will acquittal most especially those under any covid charges alone as none would stand any chance of UKSupremeCourt standing ?

155 x £200 fines = £31000 for an afternoons work. Probably pays for the police overtime. If any of these muppets have been caught before, their fines will be substantially higher.

FREESPEECH = BAD

Understand the frustration but whether you agree with it or not, we all need to work together. This lot may be right but all they achieve with this nonsense is to make things worse. The government has too much 'invested' 😏 in this pandemic to allowed it to be ruined by them. 🧐

No matter how nuts some of them might be, this is not OK. A far right Government locking up protestors. The futures bright.

Good work metpoliceuk keep going.

so pleased that Johnson and Patel condemned their irresponsible behaviour!

Freedom. To cough in people's faces. What a noble cause. Wankers.

Good.

I bet every single one voted for Brexit...

But the British Embassy condemns the arrests of protesters in Belarus! Human rights and all! 😏

Good

nice

How ironic that anti lockdown protestor are now, un-escapibally locked down

Darwinism IRL

NGRPresident PoliceNG HQNigerianArmy come and learn.

Police arrest 115 for being outside

Good, should've been more.

Good.

Was one of them Clapton?

.. force them to dig the graves.
