    Translation 4 inconvenient people were silenced by officers. By forcibly removing them from the scene. Knowing full well the CPS will likely not press charges.

    Given there is no way any court will consider the purpose as causing distress. As required by the act.

        The judges can only rule according to the legislation. They don’t have a lot of interpreting power, if these people have genuinely not committed a crime there isn’t a lot that courts can do with them maliciously (unless they want to go full America and just straight up ignore the law which I don’t think labour could get away with)

          Ruling that protesters could not tell the jury about their motivation was all the judiciaries decision.

          Don’t pass the buck on this. England’s judiciary, and their lawyer class in general, has betrayed the freedom of speech and expression that florist in England hundreds of years before the rest of the continent and made it to Envy of the world.

          All for some chiseling cunts busy stealing our lunch and freedom with the help of that same judiciary. They think what remained of democracy is already dead.
