I saw that and thought of that thread too Mr Lagos! Will certainly make the next round more interesting although I think they will still be able to apply restrictions such as no more than 3 people congregating together.
Edit...did you get to Rochdale?

"They break our legs and tell us to be grateful when they offer us crutches."
In a perverse way it possibly helped. People getting arrested whilst peacefully protesting is probably a bigger impact than they could have hoped for.
Obviously shouldn’t have been banned, that was never going to stick.
It didn't stick in Bristol. The police consulted the lawyers and decided to talk to XR to find out which roads that would block and diverted traffic away from those areas allowing the protests to proceed. The old bill only arrested XR protestors when they deviated from the agreed protests. It went on for a week and the police who were in a lose-lose situation were accused of pandering to the protestors but in general it was still disruptive but peaceful/good natured from police and protestors.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Nope, never made it. No way I was fit enough to get there under my own steam :-(

Going to cost the Met a fair bit too for those arrested who will be able to claim for what were unlawful arrests...
