"Protesters posing as stewards planned to disrupt the Coronation by throwing bottles of white paint at the procession, Sir Mark Rowley has revealed. The Met Commissioner said his officers had worked around the clock to identify and arrest the criminal network that planned to attack the event and compromise the safety of those taking part.
He said just hours before the Coronation took place, police had received intelligence that people intended to vandalise monuments, throw paint at the procession and invade the route. If the disruption had not been stopped, Sir Mark said, it could have resulted in multiple serious injuries for those taking part in the mounted procession.
In a strongly worded defence of the Met’s handling of the historic event, Sir Mark said: “By Friday evening, only 12 hours from the Coronation, we had become extremely concerned by a rapidly developing intelligence picture suggesting the Coronation could suffer. “This included people intent on using rape alarms and loud hailers as part of their protest which would have caused distress to military horses."

“We also had intelligence that people intended to extensively vandalise monuments, throw paint at the procession, and incur on to the route.”

I am not the biggest fan of our police, but this looks like a job well done to me.

What pitifully pathetic agitprop....but even if believed....c'mon, a concern that calls for a large police operation to weed out the dangerous paint lobbers, egg and loo roll chuckers, or naked hurdlers shouting "down with the monarchy" , is that all they had to worry about ?.....but I think the greater concern is the fact that folk are in agreement with this newspeak nonsense, and would rather follow the thinnest of rational than protect themselves, and others, from the overreaching arm of the state.
As for the Horses, more hogwash, Irish draughts that dont blink at the cannon booms of a 24 gun salute....though a great shame for those Horses in the unGrand National of Greed. Hypocrites.
