Protest, Eurovision and Showgirls

While we were busy being dazzled by glittery crowns and golden coaches…did the authorities sneak in and steal away our rights? New laws have given the police wide ranging powers to arrest protestors - scuppering the plans of anti-monarchy protestors to demonstrate against the Coronation. Instead they were arrested, detained and then released without charge - after the event was safely over. Nish and Coco ask barrister and activist Paul Powlesland  and ask what happened to the British love of freedom?  Plus find out why a PSUK listener spent 15 hours outside his local polling station; why the Coronation gave Coco ‘Showgirls’ vibes; why Coco can't wait for Eurovision; and why Labour and the Lib Dems are in danger of being ‘vagina adjacent’.  Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.  Contact us via email: [email protected].  WhatsApp: 07514 644572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644572 Audio credits: Paul Powlesland Good Morning Britain, ITV Parliament.TV Photo credits: Paul Powlesland Video - Paul Powlesland Photos - Tom Garner Video clip - Good Morning Britain, ITV Video clip - Parliament.TV Learn more about your ad choices.
