Abolish the monarchy, not the right to protest
As we speak the whole core team of Republic is still being detained. We are not given a reason. They will probably be released when the whole monarchy pr-show is over.

Charles has just dodged a multi-million pound inheritance tax. New monarchs are exempted from paying a tax the rest of us must pay, at significant cost to the taxpayer. #AbolishTheMonarchy#NotMyKing
We are so proud to have 1000s of officers lining the route as the Royal Escort for King Charles III's #Coronation
This is a long-held tradition and something officers are honoured to do, not just for @RoyalFamily but for those attending this momentous moment in British history.
We understand public concern following arrests made this morning.
We police proportionately and in the context of the event.
This is a once in a generation moment and that has been a key consideration.

🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: We've just reported Andrew to the police.
With the release of the Epstein court documents, new details of sexual assault and rape allegations against Andrew have been revealed.
It's time for the Met Police to act. #NotMyKing#AbolishTheMonarchy#Epstein
Asking people to swear allegiance to Charles and his heirs, means swearing allegiance to Andrew. In a democracy it is the Head of State who should swear allegiance to us. This is an offensive and tone deaf gesture that holds the people in contempt. #NotMyKing#AbolishTheMonarchy
So, people have inevitably started talking about the economic benefit of the monarchy. Because when it's obvious the shine is coming off and people are losing interest, why not revert to talking about money? Here's why that claim about the profitable monarchy is nonsense. 🧵
Thank you everyone for the huge outpouring of support. The speed with which the Met backed down shows they had badly misjudged the situation. We will certainly be pursuing the matter further.

We have just been told that the police will be taking no further action. This has been a disgraceful episode and we will be speaking to lawyers about taking legal action. I also expect a full inquiry into why they repeatedly lied to us and who authorised the arrests.
