You’re thinking in terms of pro-palestine protests, which explains the backlash. Now imagine it’s the opposite, and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) and his chud squad is protesting outside the house of an LGBQT ethnic MP because they decide to vote against selling weapons to Israel. How would you feel about this law then?
So long as it is actually a peaceful protest, I see no issue with them speaking their mind. You can disagree with someone’s politics, but it should not enable you to condemn their ability to express themselves. If however them protesting becomes violent, then I could agree with such a ban, but there would have to be a lenient definition on violent since otherwise it becomes easily susceptible to false flags.
The other groups who do this are animal rights and anti-abortionists. I think its for the best, yeah
You’re really going to group animal rights activists with forced-birthers?
