Because it's on private property, in the eye's of the law, and as we've known for centuries, the law is an ass.
Conversely, the law couldn't be used on Saturday, to stop two groups, with a history of violent clashes, from holding rallies in Bolton, because that was in a public place, but they could have halted procedings if it had been on private property.
The law needs a much needed overhaul.
