Kings Road, not High Street. Why are there Scottish police vehicles in Berkshire, over 350 miles away from where they should be?

Mutual aid. Events like this are always policed by people from many areas as so many staff are needed. Look up 'I've met the met' and the stickers used, they are often visible on vehicles brought into help for MA.
Oh I know. It's just that there are so many other police forces that are nearer than 350 miles.
They'll all be represented somewhere in the event. You can see the armoured PSNI ones sometimes. There are only so many 'free' officers trained for this duty countrywide, so they get grabbed on their rest days. @brickcop.bsky.social might make a lego of them..
they protect pedos in UK too?! amazing. still wonder who else is on the list. like, why did charles feel he needed to have a state dinner for a felon?
We are NOT a fucking police state yet!!!! I personally will stand up to him!!!
What lawful reason did the officers provide?
On what legal basis?
It’s just a picture
And a Scottish police van. In Windsor 🤦♂️
I live 10 miles away. A mate was in Windsor yesterday morning for work and said there were hundreds of police from all over the country gathering then. I just hope it's the US paying for this.
US paying for this?
I think I saw a post on Reddit where someone explained that host countries are responsible for the security of high profile visting dignitaries. So it looks as if we had to fork out for this charade.
We built a wall and we are paying for it.
What happened to freedom of speech?
Bleach his fucking golf courses
JD Vance and Nigel Führage will come out in defence of freedom of speech in the UK... any minute now
So the police stole your van ????
British relations to America have been overshadowed by unfathomable scandals (Epstein/Prince Andrew - P. Mandelson/Epstein) with Trump in the centre of the Epstein files. No state banquet or military parade can gloss over the involvement of the above in Epstein’s outrageous abuse of under-age girls!
You’ve had your own JE with Jimmy S. already; a *massively* prolific person that has left thousands of victims in his wake. Trimp is the UsA’s Saville mmw
I bet you Farage will be delighted at this.
British police support pedophilia obviously.
So the local and UK wide Police force here, are supporting paedophiles then...
...and genociders, dont forget.
So much for free speech in the UK. Doesn't surprise me they're suppressing protest, sadly. No wonder we are heading the same way as the USA.
Who's paying for all of this over-reaction and partisan patronage?
I hope you are considering legal action over the police taking the van. There is already a precedent for stopping protestors with Republic members being arrested on the day of the Coronation, despite liaising with the Met on their protest for several months in advance.
All terrified of the orange oligarch 🤡
As a retired police officer I am speechless to see this kind of thing happening. Led by Donkeys guys have been arrested twice now. Old people arrested under counter terrorism legislation it’s mad and I’m so glad I’m out.
Mike, how do they get away with calling this counter-terrorism? It's just a picture, already in the public domain!
I genuinely have no idea and I have a reasonable knowledge of the legislation.
I honestly don't think this use of our police as some sort of prophylactic against anything other than the government line is at all acceptable.
The police stole your van! Maybe they wanted to drive it around town in order to maximize public exposure to the Trump-Epstein image
Sue the police
On the basis of what? What offence was it committing?
None I can see
🇬🇧 These are the actions of an authoritarian state, crushing lawful protest / dissent Just as the british Police did during the Coronation Pantomime 🏴Get Scotland OUT this disgrace of a union !
On what grounds?
This can only come from No.10. Starmer has to be replaced before he copies more ideas from Trump.
Absolutely agree
Wait. Wasn’t this Led by Donkeys’?
Britain has aligned the fascists. Nice job guys. Going to start building concentration camps next?
On what grounds ? I thought the conservatives were bad.... Seem like Labour are at it ! This goes beyond disappointment
Labour have to go
British police paedo protectors ! Shame on them
What would you expect in a police state?
bsky.app/profile/patr...
Apparently, the driver and the journalists have been charged with VANdalism.
Ooh la la
Boo. Tomato Magisword engaged. 🍅 😂 good dad joke.
Yes but I had to use capitals in case VAN went over your head.
Is that by any chance the Metropolitan Police? So they have added Grand Theft Auto to their charge sheet!
Did you notice the "Police Scotland" van taking part in the seizure of your video van? Logo shows Gaelic "Poileas" in addition to the usual "Police".
Fuckin police Scotland have been first to respond to the awful crime of disabled grannies wearing t-shirts. ACAB
Good spot. SF number plate is Glasgow.
The late, forever great Jane Godley would not be pleased to see this
Loved Jane Godley!
Good to see all crimes in Glasgow have been solved and they can afford to let officers go moonlighting in England stealing vans on behalf of an orange nazi.
Did they also book you on the newly contrived “malicious communications” charges?
1988 isn't new. Its just that the police have realised it's such a badly worded and broad bit of legislation that they can apply it to anything. So they abuse it, like public order act and the terrorism act. Can't think of a reason to arrest you? Suspected terrorist, search to find id. Etc.
Love the van😂
Under what law have they done this? This is surely illegal.
Exactly.
Over the past few years, that pic has been in national media and even on the BBC. So what are the police getting uptight about? They must be concerned that you're welcoming a paedophilic dirty old man to Britain?
They’re obviously under orders.
Probably a parking violation... .. double yellow lines = no parking.
That would be just a ticket though surely
Police can tow if it is an obstruction. Like streets in most UK towns, this is a narrow road, so police ca claim that why they towed it.
They didn't tow it they drove It away, get your facts right
Do you even do any basic due diligence before replying like a moron? Police can do that.
Typical pig ignorant yank
What the fuck are you on about you dumbass cunt
Here .. I've spaced this out to you can read and type .. G O O G L E
That's not a narrow street and if they were parked the police could have moved them on, don't defend the indefensible
Who's defending it , moron.
oh ... and not seized, no arrests .... but did use traffic laws to move him on. Not and never did defend it .. ... your country, you get off your arse and do something about it, other than crying on here. www.thenational.scot/news/2547401...
I would love to know under what authority and what possible crime was supposedly committed. There's nothing offensive, so what's the deal?
Shared
Under what law was it confiscated?
Protection of Nonces Act 2000
Umm Police, You are human beings are you?? Might I recommend that...
Why have they got a Scottish police van in Windsor?
Of course, it’ll be the o/t guys won’t it?!
Political prisoners are becoming the norm in the UK.
The USA's free speech suppression is astounding their way of handling the extreme right troll CK's death is even worse, if you don't mirror their fake grief, your visa might get revoked.. (currently not sure if you also have to build a white house ballroom extension)
So the cops there are protecting a pedophile.
Sue them
Absolutely agree
Our reminder that jurors have the absolute right to acquit according to their conscience.
Here's some jolly hilarious Trump merch that by now some folks want to cherish for a keepsake for when it's all over. I'm sure of it. I have loads more in my Trump Collection :) www.redbubble.com/people/funny...
Just another day in the slap-your-knee ridiculous issue of #WhiteHouseComics !
Someone’s had a bit of a panic there and overreacted. Not unusual unfortunately.
It’s just poor taste bc nothing is from that . He has taken pics with thousands of ppl!
I wonder what the orange leader of the free speech world would say if he knew about it 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@politicalbeauty.bsky.social rechtswidriges Beschlagnahmen von befahrendem Protest? Was fällt uns da ein?
Did you get your van back yet?
They know he's hated here which is why they're flying him everywhere so he can't see the protestors
Welsh Police?
#TwoTierPolicing
Don't mention Epstein to the paedos. It makes them angry.
Isn't that theft? Call the police!
Sue them, don't settle for compensation, expose who gave theses illegal orders!
How strange. They seemed all about free speech at the weekend...well for some. Good work though.
For what reason?
