I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one - an Al Quds Day march being banned due to “concerns over public safety and potential disruptions”. If you know what I mean, it’s like we’re already living in a surveillance state where freedom of expression is constantly under threat. The Met seems more interested in maintaining the status quo than allowing people their right to protest peacefully. Just goin’… What does this say about our society? Are we really that scared of dissent and free speech? - lenamorris1
