These anti-protest laws are, I think, not going to stop protests. They're going to make protests violent.
If half a million people take to the streets and it's illegal, are they going to stand by and passively let the police arrest them?
The Battles of Cable Street and Stockton High Street weren't against the fash. They were against the police protecting them.
