White Pendragons 'Independence Day' letters refused

Parliament Square, London. Sat 23 Jun 2018



 People were gathering in Parliament Square with English and Welsh flags

 and a Union jack. Many wore t-shirts with a dragon on them and messages including 'Take back control'

 
     
 

 Shaun Morris holds up a letter addressed to the Prime Minister. Others hold flags 'The White Pendragons'

 A woman poses for me and tells me a little about their protest

 They are going to hand in letters to the Prime Minister declaring themselves independent

 though still supporting England. A woman wears a free Melanie Shaw t-shirt. The courts jailed her as a mentally

 ill dangerous arsonist, but campaigners say she is a child abuse survivor and a political prisoner imprisoned
to protect a pedophile ring at Beechwood Children's Home in Nottinghamshire and elsewhere.

 Shaun Morris leads some of the 'Arthur Pendragons' past people in Parliament Square towards the Houses of Parliament

 

 

 and they cross over to the gates of Parliament

 where they try to had in their letters

 but police refuse to take them

 

 He argues for some minutes but police say they cannot take the letters
     
 
     
 

 

 

 Eventually Shaun Morris asks if they may push the letters through the fence, and after some further discussion

 they are allowed to do so

 Shaun Morris shakes hands with the police after pushing his letter through

And a woman who has just filled in her letter puts hers through the fence after the others
