The protest is a continued effort to demand answers about what King Charles and Prince William knew about accusations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

After liaising with local police, Republic were told they would be arrested if they protested near the procession, citing 'unjustified' concerns about the banner & amplified noise.

The police then threatened to arrest anyone heckling Charles from the fence line, Republic says.

It's possible

Here's a map of landfills and watercourses south of the river Tees. The sludge that was dredged from South Bank Quay in 2022 was dumped in the Metals Recovery Area. Half of it was then moved to Long Acres in 2024

So, I'm concerned about the possibility of PCBs leaching into the river

Is this connected to the initial dredging and dumping of toxic sludge further out in the North Sea - that was never investigated properly?

Well that's what happens if they elect Houchen I guess...
