Governments everywhere are going with the new definition of anti-government protest: "It is only a good protest if you are doing it alone, quietly and on your private property". Unless you are doing BDS, then even just quietly not buying a product can be a crime.

    dating back to peterloo? what? the massacre where none of those responsible were ever punished, but the protestors sure were? and then there were further crackdowns on any kind of protest/assembly?

    that's gonna be your precedent for english courts taking the side of the people?!

    this is like the us libs whining breathlessly that keeping kids in cages is not the america they remember, what has trump done?!

    ugh.
