All 33 people arrested on Monday were released by Monday evening. They had been held at police stations in Newbury, Loddon Valley (near Reading), Abingdon and Maidenhead. Some were ordered to pay a £30 fixed penalty, others were charged (generally with Highway Obstruction, but one Section 5 Public Order Act (for wearing an offensive T-shirt, apparently) and one Obstructing a police officer), whilst others were offered a caution (which some refused to accept, and so were charged).
