The sad reality is that the establishment and monarchy treated the people terribly in these parts and Brentwood is where the peasant's revolt started in 1381. The problem is that numpties like this guy and many who apparently live there barely made it past year 9 history lessons, so their understanding of history is very limited. Many a people in these parts also confuse the love for the monarchy for patriotism and loved for the country. I usually just try and ignore these people. Not worth it.

      Fun fact Before we left the EU, less than 4% of NHS medically trained staff were from the EU member states.
      By far the majority of them remained here.
      Nett migration figures prove you wrong Trev.
      You people often quote the Daily Mail as though you read it every day. Do you, how do you know its contents if you don't?
      That's real 'Smoke and Mirrors', matey.
      The NHS is a political football and needs drastic changes to its organisation from top to bottom.
      There is a skills shortage in all industrialised first-world countries including the likes of Germany. It's not a phenomenon confined to the United Kingdom.
      The end of unfettered EU immigration providing an endless supply of cheap unskilled labour has seen a 20% rise in wage rates for our own low-skilled workforce. MacDonalds are paying £12 an hour near me.

Aside from that, for arguments sake, if someone had written 'Down with the King,' that could be seen to be enticing violence.

Sadly the country is full of them and theyre the reason this country is in the state its in!

      It's because he's clearly lived such a provincial and media-conditioned life that he has never had to seriously consider alternative views, so the idea that the law would have to treat those with the same value as his own soon becomes a panic-inducing threat to his entire internalised belief system, which he had privileged as beyond all others without even understanding that he does as much, and that it might even make _him_ wrong to do as much.
      Cornered with this unacceptable outcome, he would prefer to hide behind authoritarian violence, as he is totally inequipped to re-evaluate his own opinions. He knows nothing else; his thoughts have never stepped outside their circle to look back into it upon reflection. There was no other alternative content or critical thinking that allowed him to ever leave that circle.
      I have a lot of experience dealing with people like this, and quite frankly, they are beyond help at such a point. If he talks like this on this particular subject, it will be the same for all his views. His mind is as firmly enclosed and lead-lined as the Queen's casket.
      Basically these people can only be ignored, as they will be stuck in this mindset forever. It should've been addressed at childhood or at least teens. He's a lost cause now.

      It's not an issue of freedom of speech, there aren't laws against expressing republican views. The issue is that, rightly or wrongly, this was seen as a breach of the peace and the arrest was likely to de-escalate or prevent rising tensions.

      The answer, I suspect, is that monarchists might respond to an opinion they disagree with by breaching the peace, while republicans are more likely to understand that freedom for speech *_that you don't like_* is the real test of principle.
