It just happens that the protest was very peaceful, and just wanted to make the point that the Queen's grocer was not paying its taxes, because it was offshoring its profits.
[the protest. No £100 chocolate Easter eggs were broken]Apparently, you can mess with Vodafone, with Philip Green's Arcadia stores,
the coppers did use pepper spray at Boots chemists (getting warmer),
but don't mess with the her highness, Queen HRH Lizzie!
The UKUncut crew tried this and the police set up a crafty sting to get the protesters
to walk themselves into a police van. 140 or them were arrested, under false charges.
"Hellay! This is your Queen speaking. Protect my grocers at once. Throw those filthy protesters all in the Tower of London.
MOVE IT!"
[the Tower was reserved for the treasonous. Torture there begat The London Dungeon Museum]

UK Uncut accuses police of politically motivated arrests
Campaign group claims police are trying to disband it following arrests at Fortnum and Mason sit-in

Protest group UK Uncut has signalled its intention to continue occupying high street stores.
A spokesman for the tax avoidance campaigners insisted that they would not be cowed, despite concerns that the Metropolitan police was intent on disabling the group's command structure and had "politically targeted" its ringleaders. The Met has charged 138 people – practically the movement's entire leadership – with aggravated trespass after a UK Uncut occupation of Fortnum and Mason in central London during the anti-cuts march.
A meeting of UK Uncut supporters heard that those charged have had their phones confiscated. The mobiles contain details of the group's secure networks and email accounts used to mobilise and organise actions.
The group believes that the decision to charge all of those inside Fortnum and Mason was an attempt by police to crush the movement. Only two of its leaders were outside the store at the time. "Practically the entire UK Uncut was inside, but it's definitely not the end of that tactic because most people can see that this is political policing," said the spokesman.
The group is baffled as to why Scotland Yard, which rejects claims of politically motivated policing, decided to charge its members, yet in previous peaceful occupations officers took no action. Video evidence reveals a senior officer assuring protesters on the day that they would not be detained upon leaving the store.....
