A protester was detained by police on the racecourse during the Epsom Derby, but failed to stop the race.

Surrey Police said it had detained 12 suspected protesters in the grounds of Epsom racecourse, while 19 were arrested before the event began.

A police spokesperson said 11 people were arrested at addresses in nearby Mitcham and Byfleet after detectives received "intelligence", and a further eight were arrested after their vehicle was stopped less than three miles from Epsom Downs Racecourse.

All were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance and remain in police custody.

Jack Cummins, 23, from Cambridge, witnessed the protest. He told the PA news agency: "Pretty stupid of him to do it, protesters don't understand how well-treated these horses are - they're putting the horses in more danger than they'll have ever been in by jumping into the track."

Perhaps Cummins could explain why, if horses are treated so well, so many horses are killed or have to be put down after their races ?

Seems to me that if so many horses weren't being killed or executed in the name of sport then Animal Rising would indeed have no grounds for complaint, wouldn't be protesting.

And perhaps the Police could detail what "intelligence" they had which led them to preemptively arrest people, so we can see that's not just made up shit, isn't punishing thought crime ?

But they won't, it's entirely acceptable to arrest people engaged in entirely legal peaceful protest in Brexit Britain.

"She might be a witch" is all it takes to deprive people of their liberty these days.
