| Comment | Well, In all fairness there have been notable protests, just not over covid.
I went to the BLM rally at Glasgow green last summer, the Sarah Everard vigil in Kelvingrove park in March and the free Palestine march earlier this month. I weighed up the number of cases at the time of each event, tested myself after each event (only exception being the BLM rally) and decided each time that I valued my right to protest certain events. I was careful and I’m proud I showed up. I followed the rules to a T in all other areas of my life. There was no spike after any of these protests and I saw each one as a risk worth taking. I absolutely believe that we are living in an era where our right to demonstrate and protest is under attack and I believe that people are aware of this. I could absolutely see a similar protest taking place. Even my lefty pals are starting to get frustrated by the restrictions. I could absolutely see some kind of anti lockdown protest happening in the near future, especially if another lockdown comes into effect in the winter. |
