What good is a right to toothless protest?

London — 1936. In what we know today as the “Battle of Cable Street,” the Metropolitan Police protected Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists against almost 20,000 anti-fascist protesters, including socialist groups, Irish dockworkers, British Jewry and anarchist and trade unionist groups. That day, 3,000 paramilitary “Blackshirts” marched through a Jewish neighborhood. Mounted police charged at a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters, and many of the arrested reported violent treatment at the hands of the police.
Following the events on Cable Street, the Public Order Act of 1936 forced organizers of large protests to obtain prior police permission and gave the police broad powers to arrest people for “insulting or abusive” speech. The ambiguity of the word “insulting” meant that the Public Order Act could be applied in a range of cases.

Backlash to vigil attack

by Bethany Rielly
WOMEN have defiantly organised protests after police attacked mourners at a vigil for Sarah Everard in south London on Saturday.
The Met Police’s handling of the candle-lit gathering on Clapham Common, where crowds paid tribute to the 33-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered by one of the force’s officers, has prompted an outpouring of condemnation and calls for Met commissioner Cressida Dick to resign.
Officers were seen dragging women away and kneeling on the back of a protester as they broke up the peaceful gathering.
The shocking scenes have fuelled wider concerns over police failures to protect women as well as galvanising opposition to the Tory government’s proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
