A note to the Met and its officers...
You could have refused to obey. You SHOULD have refused to obey. The fact that you choose to obey is on YOU, not your sodding Parliament.
Just checked.
The Met has about 30,000 uniformed officers.
How many have refused to obey, would refuse to obey if told to lock up someone for hurty words?
Note to the Met: You’re not a police force. You’ve become a goon squad.
