I think we all can see where this is going, after repeated widespread protests by local residents concerned about the safety of women and girls in the circumstances surrounding their communities.

Police forces will be granted powers to put conditions on repeat protests, the government has announced, a day after nearly 500 protesters were arrested.



Senior officers will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of previous protests, the Home Office said, which could mean they instruct organisers to hold events elsewhere if a site has seen repeated demonstrations.



Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme the move was not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions".



Unquote.



It parallels such actions as the arrest while waiting for a taxi of



17-year-old ****** *******, who, it could be suggested, was given some extra-judicial sanction quite possibly following his reporting of the protests at the Bell Hotel, and the CPN issued to Ollie Sabotelli, as discussed in a video by BlackBeltBarrister, linked below.

A video of the youth being interviewed outside the Houses of Parliament contains some information concerning his arrest and can be found here:

The number of online videos showing police over-reaching their powers or just making up law as they go along is quite disturbing, not forgetting their escorting and transporting of the far-left during their confrontation of the peaceful protesters, leading to questions about the source of the over-arching policies that ‘plod on the street’ is enforcing heavy-handedly by such actions.


Contrary to what they obviously believe, those with an axe to grind do not have any right at all to harm or inconvenience other people.

Their "protest" should be just that - making their views known, whether by writing to the Times or Guardian, arguing in online discussion forums, taking out paid-for ads in the press or on TV/radio or printing and handing out leaflets. Nothing more.

Wish I'd seen that before I replied... ;-)

Tell that to the 'supporters of palestine', just stop whatever it is this week, Animal rights, vegetable rights, mineral rights, I dont stick my dick where you stick yours rights....

Right. I can see that really waking people up.

I'm not at all sure what you're getting at with that.

If the only way to persuade to a political point of view ("waking them up", as it might be arrogantly put) is by committing offences against them... so what?

That all tyhose peole practivce in-yer-face public offensiveness and or violence to 'get what they want'

With the current bunch of tossers it seems to be what works.
