Ok, but please just do a quick search and check your facts before kicking off a long discussion thread on a false basis. I promise you that a lot of the pushback you're getting from Brits is down to the factual inaccuracies and exaggerations in your posts, not any great love we have for police crackdowns on peaceful protests.

My facts here would have been previous HN discussions that would have been very hard to find.

No, that isn't the case, and you're not in a position to promise that; it's an assumption you're making, and I would ask you to question your motivation for doing so.

In the previous posts I was using as an example discussion the coronation, people were downplaying protestors being arrested for holding up signs. Nothing was being exaggerated, all the facts were accurate as they had just happened - sources were abundant.
