IF they simply protest then no, if they go beyond protesting and cause riots and intentionally disrupts people’s daily lives and wellbeing then yes.

Why is this even a question. Anyone who says yes doesn’t realise they’re eroding your human rights in the U.K. and this adds to it. The U.K. is no longer a free country.

People have a right and should retain the right to peacefully and lawfully protest. I think many people now believe that right includes causing criminal damage, major disruption and even threat to life. The Terrorism Act 2000 defines terrorism, both in and outside of the UK, as the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause. The specific actions included are: serious violence against a person; serious damage to property; endangering a person's life (other than that of the person committing the action); creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public; and action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system. If their actions fall within that definition then treat them accordingly.

funny how people tried to warn you over free speech and you sided with governmental powers and now your complaining, also this is happening across Europe, not just the uk

There are already laws preventing vandalism and public harassment. Trying to justify government to treat any protests as terror organizations and hypocritically claiming "No body is calling you terrorists" is beyond immature. The lady consistently brings Palestine protests into the issue is disgusting and shameful. Everybody has an agenda that they claim to be justice or 'Right thing to do'. Nobody should have the right to takeaway one's ability to protest and demonstrate. That's that.

​@@peterlee584 Are they being ignored? How do you know? Where's your evidence? Perhaps I support them. You only read or hear about the ones who don't support them. Time will tell. Especially if climate change becomes irreversible. Then it's too late. This is a very dangerous experiment with the planet because you can't repeat it with a different set of parameters. As I said, it would be too late.

Only if you want a totalitarian gov. Whether you agree with the protest or not the right to protest should be allowed

When Mrs Hamilton directs the moral compass, given the sole reason she is famous and on TV is because hubby was immoral (see Tatton Gen. Election '97), GMB might try to put a more convincing person at the helm.

The look on his face at the end when she said they should go protest in China. Yeah Just Stop Oil is super disruptive but its not like politicians have taken action or listened to them.

No. It should be a human right to protest!

yes to protest....not to vandalise and stopping people from getting to work and ruining their day. a women couldn't get her baby to hospital because of just stop oil. one person couldn't get to their fathers funerals. this shouldn't be allowed

The audacity of Hamilton lecturing anyone about anything 😂.

Yes... the answer is probably yes because then you'll finally lose the battle. Ya know? They'll win. It's the same as asking "should you surrender?" when you're already defeated.

Ban protests for everyone and see what people feel then to not have a voice about anything that happens.

Nobody is saying ban all protests. The right is to protest peacefully and lawfully. That does not include causing criminal damage, obstruction, endangering life and threats to life. It's as if people now believe they can do whatever they want so long as they call it a protest . They cannot.

It’s legal to protest but it’s illegal to stop freedom of movement so sitting in the road and restricting the public’s right of freedom of movement is illegal…the end!

Yes.

personally i think it's a step too far. there are already tough laws. what i would suggest is that the police actually do some policing and carry out more arrests of people for example shouting from the river to the sea which is promoting genocide, showing support for hamas which is a proscribed terrorist group and so on.

Its not illegal to protest, so that lady needs to shush

Oh so all I have to do is put a just stop oil shirt on then I can vandalise anything and get away with it.
