Jordyn Jones: Dude arrested for allegedly Throwing Eggs at King Charles is BANNED from Having Eggs

The protester shouted ‘this country was built on the blood of slaves’ before he was carried away by police into a waiting van

Student Patrick Thelwell says he was protesting against fascism, borders and suffering

A man arrested after allegedly throwing eggs at King Charles and the Queen Consort during a public visit says he has been charged with an offence and banned from carrying eggs in public. Patrick Thelwell, 23, says he is the man who was arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort in York on Wednesday.

Patrick, a student at the University of York, said he was held by police for several hours. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “I was let out at 10pm so it wasn’t that bad really. My friends were waiting for me. My solicitor was very good.

“After I was arrested the experience of that crowd, literally screaming and wailing with pure rage. Saying that my head should be on a spike, that I should be murdered on the spot.

“It doesn’t phase me because I understand what fascism is, what it looks like.

“People were ripping chunks of my hair out, they were spitting at me. People lost their minds.”

“It’s just so revealing to see when you challenge someone’s beliefs in that way, the belief of the superiority of this man’s blood.”

Asked why he targeted the King, who has been trying to raise awareness about climate change for decades, he said: “If that is what we take as someone who has done the most for climate change it shows you how low the bar is!

“This is a man who dresses in stolen jewels from India and Africa and every other colony.”

Patrick said his bail conditions include not being allowed to be 500 metres within the King and not being allowed to possess any eggs in a public place.

Thelwell has been president of the University of York gardening society and, on a blog where he regularly writes about climate change, says he is preparing to study for a PhD in Interdisciplinary Global Development

Although he says they had to alter that condition so he could go grocery shopping. He said he has been charged with Section 4 public order offence and due in court on December 1st.

Talking about the incident, he said: “I’ve had death threats, people on DM, instagram, saying: “If I’m not careful I’m going to get my head cut off’,” he said.

“People (the public) were kicking me. Of course they were. I challenged the very core of their identity.

“The police tried to stop me saying what I was saying.”

Asked why he tried to pelt the King with eggs, he said: “I did what I did because I don’t believe in kings. I believe in the equality of all people. It’s a protest against the state of this country and the descent into fascism.

“We have a Government that are enacting fascist policies particularly by their treatment of refugees. The media whipping up hatred.”

He added: “Look at the rhetoric just days after a far-right extremist firebombed a refugee centre. Then you have the Government talking about an invasion.

“I don’t believe in borders. I don’t believe in nation-states. I believe in people.

“I believe in democracy and solidarity with all the world’s people who are suffering right now in large part because of conditions created by the British state.

“The United Kingdom as a whole, needs to be abolished, dissolved and its assets given as reparations to help the world and build resilience to the climate breakout that we have caused.

“It’s time for the people of the world to unite and have the revolution that we desperately need to survive.”

Patrick said he has spoken to his mum, a teacher, since his release and he said she was “concerned” about him but okay with him.

He said: “It’s not our first rodeo”.

The man arrested for throwing eggs at King Charles: “I’m with all victims of slavery, colonialism, and imperialism… those eggs are the only justice those people will see… for all the people who died so that man could wear a crown.”
