We tax payers have just paid £250M for this man's #CoronationDay pantomime.
£250M has just been cut from the #SocialCare budget.
Absolutely abhorrent!

The Met Police has been fiercely criticised by Labour MPs for arresting women’s safety volunteers in central London during the early hours of coronation day.They work for Westminster Council’s night life safety team & we’re detained in custody for 15 hours.

#Celtic fans chanting:
You can shove your coronation up yer arse
You can shove your coronation up yer arse
You can shove your coronation
You can shove your coronation
You can shove your coronation
up yer arse
Hours after news emerged that people across the UK were being asked to pledge allegiance to King Charles on coronation day, Celtic fans in Hampden made their opposition known.

“Not My King? If you do not wish to live in a country that has a monarchy the solution is not to turn up with your silly boards. The solution is to emigrate.”
This was said today by Lee Anderson, vice chair of the #Tory party.
A senior member of government said those that resent the feudalism of the monarchy are not welcome to live in this country.
Freedom of speech?
Democracy?
The sign I saw within spitting distance of #Norfolk Police HQ is spot on. This is a fascist regime.

So, that's it. You can forget about the right to peacefully protest in this country. #NotMyKing

Over 50 arrested for having an opinion other than the officially endorsed groupthink.
I should be awfully grateful if the monarchy could see their way to fucking right off, I now have to go to the trouble of joining Republic....

For our friends around the world, apologies for the national embarrassment, at least some of us don't care for it. Not on the TV coverage: people getting arrested for having placards.

Good PR start to the coronation with Met police arresting apparently peaceful protesters before any protest has even taken place. Just the kind of authoritarian backdrop needed to set off a lavish celebration of constitutional hierarchy, privilege and entitlement.

I see we’ve reached the next level of Minority Report policing and you can now be arrested for carrying a megaphone.
#KingCharles signed the second anti-protest #PublicOrderBill into law on Tuesday.
This needs to be tested in the courts. #PoliceAct #Protest #Republic #UK #Coronation

Tory losses in the local elections now top 1000. What a crying shame. Look on the bright side, Tories… for once you’ve exceeded your own expectations and made the country very happy. How often can you say you’ve achieved that? Cheers to all who made it possible🥂
