i thought the whole idea of freedom of speech and the right to protest was that you didnt have to ask permission to do so

the two most successful protests i can think of are the polltax and fuel blockade protests and their success i would suggest was down to the government not been aksed for permission to hold them

Was your answer referring to the statement that you're having to apply to protest & as such inferring your freedom of speech & right to protest has been removed.

Your misguided view about the right to protest ! It isn't compulsory to register to stage an event as long as certain conditions are adhered to & abided by. So again, just for you "D", be a good Lad & have a read (see below) before going off on one.
