Moniz had been on his way to a peaceful, authorized demonstration run by the anti-monarchy group Republic in central London when he was stopped by police. McSherry said Moniz had no criminal record and no intention of committing a crime, but was held in a police cell for "anticipated breach of the peace." He was released without being charged six hours later after the royal wedding was over.

The Republic movement held a peaceful tea party during the wedding (in Covent Garden I think). The authorities must be getting worried about this small movement to start arresting people attending their quite lawful, peaceful and legitimate meeting. He would have been travelling in the opposite direction to the wedding anyway.

So a man was robbed of his freedom for 6 hours , because of Lazy Katie

This is from today's Observer from a protestor who has just been found guilty of a criminal act following the wedding protests. They are considering taking this to the European court on appeal.

I find the result of the trial impossible to believe. It's like a police state.

I hope they do take it further.

This is why people are not going ot do business in this country; mark my words, the minute this is all over the cout of appeals and gets more press, it'll result in a lot of nations shying away from having diplomatic relations with the UK government and a lot of royals avoiding the BRF.

Either way, people are going to find out.
