Comment on Police admit arrest of anti-monarchy heckler in Oxford was unlawful

A couple of people told Hill to shut up and he responded that a head of state was being imposed without the country’s explicit consent.
…
He asked local police officers how he could avoid the crowds and mentioned in conversation that he disagreed with the veneration of an unelected head of state.
Seems like the politest protest in history. It’s borderline a comedy sketch, although he’s not laughing.

Ironic that his polite human-scale protest wouldn’t have gotten much attention if the police hadn’t turned it into national news.
