Apparently for standing up for Lawrence Fox who posted something about the trans flag. Not clear on what is going on.

Just seen this on Twitter.
something to do with someone arranging trans flags to look like swastikas apparently.
Harry defending them and got arrested

I think Harry was arrested for obstruction. He was telling the officers that they had not followed the process properly and they arrested him. I did not finish watching the footage that Laurence Fox tweeted though. I am happy to be corrected.

Very little detail available and the video clips won't play for me.

Laurence Fox saying no offence has been committed. I can only guess his intention by including the postcode in the tweet.

That is pretty funny. I mean posting imagery of nazi germany in pride flags is not on. Glad they got arrested. Just a stop too far!

Childrenofthestones · 28/07/2022 23:32

Perhaps it was meant ironically

GoodJanetBadJanet · 28/07/2022 23:33

That swastika nazi in Pride flag was disgusting, why the heck anyone would want to defend it is beyond me.

Surely that's not an actual crime? Displaying a swastika? What have they been arrested for?

Datun · 28/07/2022 23:57

The police have been explicitly told not to arrest people for causing offence.

dear God. Two vans of them. This is so not going to look good on the front page tomorrow.

I wonder if it comes under hate crime, trying to make something look like a swastika?

my confusion is that they were trying to arrest Harry? He isn't the one who posted it? So confused.

Dunno. Reminds me that Prince Harry wore a uniform to a party, replete with armband with swastika. It is displayed on books and films.

It is also a hindu religious symbol.

Whatever the rights and wrongs, I don't think the flags were doctored in any way. They were simply placed at various orientations. If this was problematic, then I think the display of those flags on Regent St. were equally as problematic as they were reminiscent of german rallies of a certain era.

MangyInseam · 29/07/2022 00:20

I am pretty sure it's not illegal to display a swastika, even if you are doing so in order to say, "I love the Nazis."

FemaleAndLearning · 29/07/2022 00:21

Here is the said image. It's been shared thousands of times. All someone has done is change the orientation anyone who sees patterns could have done this, but I really don't know what the law is around Nazi symbols?

Callieach "then I think the display of those flags on Regent St. were equally as problematic as they were reminiscent of german rallies of a certain era."

I saw them in Holborn and was quite taken aback by the similarities. I thought it might just be me as I studied it for A level.

Lovelyricepudding · 29/07/2022 00:28

who the hell is going to be on the lookout for possible swastikas in everything just in case somebody's head goes there?

Anyone involved in commercial design should cover this - it is pretty basic stuff.

exwhyzed · 29/07/2022 00:28

Well the daily mail are going to have a field day with that.

which bright spark at TRA HQ decided setting the police on professional agitators Lawrence Fox and Harry Millar was going win hearts and minds.

when do you think the realisation will dawn that they just triptrapped onto a 'free speech' glue trap?

Datun · 29/07/2022 00:29

So was it Laurence Fox who did that? How come they arrested Harry Miller?

I mean, I'm pretty certain that Harry Miller knows the law inside out and backwards. Not only is he an ex cop, this is his bread and butter. It's the entire raison d'être of his campaigning.

He knew they hadn't gone through the correct process, but more than that, he knew why they hadn't, and why they routinely don't, it appears.
