| Comment | So the impression of the point I think you're trying to make here, is that only gatherings which 'achieve' something you agree with should be allowed.
Okay - who gets to decide which gatherings 'achieve' the most good? YourCrosswordPuzzle? The police commander of the day? The government?
If your answer is the government, then why hasn't the government included exemptions for protests such as the Kenmure street one, or Free Palestine? There isn't specific exemptions included in the restrictions because it counteracts the very principle of free thought and speech. No one - including you or the government gets to decide that Palestine marches matter more than a Rangers march. |
