Bloody hell. Over 40 police at my count. Raiding a studio because there was a sculpture on the roof (as part of an exhibition) which has associations with Extinction Rebellion. This really is scary, police state stuff.
Yes, and look a bit further down the Twitter thread to see what happened to the owner who turned up to see what was going on. Later charger with dangerous driving and assault!
Not sure what the warrant has to do with the charges against the owner. Looking at the video, can’t see dangerous driving or assault, least not by the owner.
Be music next.
Wasn't that something Hitler liked to do?
The magistrate was shown a pic of the offending sculpture and said “it’s a dirty minded disgrace*, they’ll be leaving an unmade bed out on the roof and callin it art next- arrest the lot of them!”.They're all in it, man.
Maybe I’ve misinterpreted something. On the video it appear that the owner rides up on a motorbike, is stopped by police in his gateway, is hauled off the bike, and, according to the Twitter feed, later charged. Apologies if I’ve gotten that wrong.
Except Wagner of course
He's probably going to need it in his defence.
I think you’ll find it’s Andrew Lloyd Webber and Garry Barlow.
