The right to protest is sacrosanct, but you do it the right way.

Liberalism means taking account of and respecting the rights of all, not allowing one group to disproportionately impact upon another.
With respect, I think your reply is a cop-out to everything I wrote and not how radical change has ever taken place. I think you've swallowed the party line. The Met has used extremely heavy-handed tactics on peaceful protesters in London for years. You or any government don't get to say what 'the right way to protest' is. You don't sound like you've ever been on the receiving end of prejudice or discrimination because if you had you wouldn't be so compliant and passive.
