The dramatic changes contained in the new Public Order Act include empowering police to stop and search protesters they suspect are setting out to cause “disruption.”
reported, just hours before a man, understood to be mentally disturbed, threw shotgun cartridges over the fence of Buckingham Palace onto the building’s apron. He was arrested and a controlled explosion was carried out.
Asked about how officers will deal with protesters, he said: “Our priority is around safety and security for everyone that’s going to come to this event, and we want to make sure that everyone enjoys it. We have an extremely low threshold for anybody or anything that will disrupt this event and what you will see is very swift action from us.”
Tugendhat said that people would “have the liberty to protest but they would not have the liberty to disrupt others. That’s where we’re drawing a difference,” adding, “The coronation is a chance for the United Kingdom to showcase our liberty and democracy, that’s what this security arrangement is doing.”Lawyers who we have been in touch with agree it sounds like intimidation and we are currently waiting for assurances from police nothing has changed.
The new law has had a sometimes turbulent passage through the British Parliament. Support for it has broadly divided along party lines, with the opposition Labor party opposed, but MPs passed the Bill by 276 votes to 231 last year, despite Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights saying the new rules would have a “chilling effect” on legitimate rights.
