Deputy chairman of UK's ruling party tells anti-monarchy protesters to ’emigrate’

Regarding protesters who were holding up signs reading ‘Not My King’ near Buckingham Palace during Saturday’s coronation, Tory MP Lee Anderson wrote on Twitter: “If you do not wish to live in a country that has a monarchy the solution is not to turn up with your silly boards.” Meanwhile, human rights organisations criticised the arrest of 50 peaceful protesters as “a dangerous precedent for us [Britons] as a democratic nation”.
