What do you mean? I never took much notice of the last fuel protest, i didnt know what went down.

the tanker drivers went on protest meaning no fuel got to petrol stations. thats been effectively outlawed now.
Also theres been plenty of cases where the terrorism act is used to quell peaceful protest or demonstration! We are studying the effect of terrorism act on human rights and free speech and its quite shocking some of the lengths the police have used those laws to shut people up! completely the opposite of what those laws are intended for!
