A minister defended the controversial arrests of peaceful protesters at King Charles III's coronation on Saturday, claiming that the police were right to act as we were on the global stage (Anti-coronation protest leader hits out at police over arrests, 7 May).Surely on the global stage we want to be seen as a democracy that defends the right to free speech and protest, not an authoritarian state where you are only free to express support for the powers that be.
