Arrests were made during a series of protests against a Drag Queen reading to children when a story hour event came to Wokingham and Earley.

The Drag Queen Story Hour UK tour has been going to libraries throughout the country since July, and involves drag act Aida H Dee, real name Sab Samuel, reading to children.

The events have been opposed by protesters since the first day of the tour in Reading.

On the penultimate day of the tour, Aida read to families at libraries in Wokingham, Woodley and Lower Earley.

Opponents were not far behind, with conspiracy theorist Michael Manoel Chaves who has protested at every event in the south.

Footage taken by Mr Chaves’  appears to show one man being arrested in Wokingham, and two men being arrested in Woodley.

Thames Valley Police has since confirmed a number of arrests outside the events.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “There was just one arrest relating to the Woodley protest, the 41-year-old man from Loughton, Essex. He has been released under investigation.

“Another arrest was made by officers at the protest for an unrelated incident.

“A 36-year-old man from Bracknell was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop a mechanically propelled vehicle when required by police.

“This was after officers saw a motorbike riding by the protests with mud on his licence plate making it unreadable.

“The motorbike made off when officers tried to stop it but an individual matching the motorcyclist’s description was seen a short while later and he was arrested.

“He has been released under investigation.”
