Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk · 6h There are a number of events taking place in London this weekend.
Anyone attending should be aware that officers policing these will act where criminal offences, including those related to support of proscribed groups or organisations, are committed.
Yup. Of course these laws are arbitrarily enforced because that would involve rounding up thousands of people with more bark than bite.
They don’t care for the lone poster on twitter, but they DO care about organisers and people putting out feelers to become actionists. The rest are selectively harassed or made examples of every now and then to make examples of people.
Courts are backed up as it is, and prison spaces are low, so they’re being strategic right now.
The question is, what happens if too many people start doing things they can’t ignore.
