As you will have heard, the police arrested me along with five of our team at around 7am Saturday morning. They did this without good cause or evidence of wrong doing. You can see Republic’s response on the website at www.republic.org.uk
We have had a huge amount of support and I can tell you we’re all ok, if a bit tired. I can also tell you we will not be deterred and more protests will be planned for later in the year.
This has backfired
It certainly looks like the arrests were a pre-planned attempt to protect Charles from the embarrassment of facing dissent at the coronation. In that, they failed and failed badly.
Our arrests have been covered around the world and by all UK media outlets. It has been noted by a lot of observers that Charles has remained silent and has not made any effort to defend our values and liberties.
Republic has also seen a huge influx of members, supporters and donations.
I just wanted to let you know that we’re still here and carrying on the campaign. Thank you for all messages of support.
As always – and with additional costs to deal with – all donations and new members are welcome and appreciated!
Please do forward this on to family and friends!
Bye for now!
Graham

Well done. I fully subscribe to [Republic’s] policies. I want to be a citizen, not a subject. The wild card of monarchy is anti-democratic. As a result of yesterday, I have become a paid member.
