You have the right to not shower for days and make a fool of yourself. It is considered indecent to do so.
Similarly, using a funeral service, public or not, to push your agenda is considered indecent. You have the right, yes, surely, but have some respect.
- drKarl 4y agoThere's probably not a better time to show your opposition to an unelected head of state than when it takes command of his new position.
- austinjp 4y agoExactly. When better to protest against an activity than when and where that activity is taking place?
- austinjp 4y agoPeople were arrested at public events, not at a "funeral service". It's not permissible to arrest someone on the grounds of "lack of respect" or "making a fool of yourself". Arrests have been made under section 5 of the Public Order Act, which applies to behaviour deemed likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, or under some other law (I'm unclear which) for behaviour "likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm" [1]. It's heavy-handed nonsense.

- DisjointedHunt 4y agoIt’s a state funeral. You’ll get arrested for doing the same thing in the United States at state funerals there.
- austinjp 4y agoNope. People were arrested at public events that were not funerals. Unless you're redefining "state funeral" in some new way?
