Conservative MP David Davis has written to Scotland’s chief constable to express his concerns about an impingement on free speech after anti-monarchy protesters were arrested in Edinburgh.
Davis wrote to Sir Iain Livingstone, head of Police Scotland, after a 22-year-old woman was arrested and then charged with a breach of the peace after holding aloft a placard which said, “[Expletive] Imperialism: Abolish the Monarchy” outside St. Giles’s Cathedral in Edinburgh on Sunday when King Charles III was being proclaimed as monarch.
