@GrahamSmith_ This country is a failure

@GrahamSmith_ I’d like to say I was surprised, but after the terrible examples of policing from the @metpoliceuk over the last several days (and the rest!), I’m not. Not even a little bit. You, Alice & all those wrongfully detained deserve generous compensation. The Met needs to be torn down.

@GrahamSmith_ I think @RoyalFamily need to be saying something about this. It appalling.

@GrahamSmith_ So the Met are now actively helping Republic by turning Royalist into Republican. Tbh the Met can apologies all they like. If I was this lady, I'd be suing, demanding my details be removed from their system and demand the officers concerned at the very least be sacked.

@GrahamSmith_ Disgraceful? Yes. Shocking? Not, if you read. Today officers were dismissed for punching 14 yrs boy. Why not criminal charges? Many of these guys think they can do everything. Use badge to arrest woman, rape, kill. Hit 16 yo with car and leave paralysed...

@GrahamSmith_ Shocking but not remotely surprising from an unaccountable and institutionally corrupt #MetPolice .

@GrahamSmith_ @GrainneBMurphy I find it difficult that you have been so vocal about YOUR right to free speech but you have tweeted in support of trans rights activists who seek to shout down gender critical women who don't accept guys with dicks are women Somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?

@GrahamSmith_ Why is this shocking but not the mistreatment of peaceful protesters?

@GrahamSmith_ No more disgraceful than you or anyone else being falsely arrested.

@GrahamSmith_ The thing is that come the summer when there is NO tourism in London because nobody wants to come to London or the country the Tory government have themselves and the police to blame when all the local businesses close due to lack of trade

@GrahamSmith_ So yeah, they acted on "intelligence"...

@GrahamSmith_ I'm sure the police could have done better here but if it wasn't for the angry protestors scaring the wits out of the general public and the police then Alice would have just enjoyed her day.

@GrahamSmith_ What a shambles!!!

@GrahamSmith_ Well she looks like a protester!! Absolutely hysterical!!

@GrahamSmith_ Are you going to bang on about your 'arrest' as much as Starmer goes on about 'my dad was a toolmaker'...you couldn't believe your luck!...🤣🤣🤣

@GrahamSmith_ Good on you Graham for showing someone who has an opposing view to your own some solidarity. Regardless of our beliefs, we could all be potential victims of this indiscriminate legislation.

@GrahamSmith_ She shouldn’t be treated any differently to how you should be treated for your own wrongful arrest.

@GrahamSmith_ Unbelievable.

@GrahamSmith_ In fairness, she was arrested by a Lincolnshire Police officer rather than the Met.
