Well, the issue we have here is a massive one, and that is that legislation has gone through it under the guise of the:
The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2020
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/684
Which basically removes your right to protest, en mass, in a seemingly free society. The people protesting in London are right to protest.
If you didn’t know about this, you should and you should be concerned.
This is bordering on Orwellian. I’m pretty sure this was never debated in Parliament. Which is why I’m sure MP’ are now demanding that.
Government is stepping beyond what is acceptable to a free society.
Whether a previous group of protesters were causing damage, and not being arrested is a separate issue.
As my previous link/quote pointed out, protests ARE allowed, but they have to socially distance and submit a risk assessment.[/QUOTE]
