Description
This film, made over 40 years ago, discusses how much right British citizens have to protest. In fact they have none! A youthful Geoffrey Robertson K.C. discusses with Lord Scarman this Situation. It turns out that you can publicly make a protest by permission of the police and only with the permission of the police. Also it emerges that if one protest march is banned by the police, all other marches due to take place during the period of that ban are also banned! During a period of 5 months, 7 marches by CND in London and elsewhere were stopped by this ‘blanket’ ban. It is interesting to compare with today with ever increasing restrictions. Many parks and past public places have bylaws prohibiting without permission for one example home secretary (Michael Heseltine) prohibited protest dongs being sung in Hyde Park. This situation is discussed in the and half of the film by John Haran K.C., American Ronald Dworkin and a young Peter Hain now in the House of Lords who had been involved in Anti-apartheid activities.
