If you look at that picture carefully, you can see an early attempt at a 5G lamppost ðŸ˜€

She managed to get 100 people onto the streets yesterday.....usually a protest deos well if it draw out 1% of its support base

Given with restrictions there is likely noone from outside dublin,deos this make gemma odoherty have 10K supporters in dublin....or are numbers skewed higher by the lockdown??

Whatever people feel about the personalities involved, they have a duty to support this challenge to illegal and dangerous totalitarian legislation.

Do you mean Gemma and her crew claim to be left? I don't think they do at all.

I appreciate there's a lot of voices in here but I did quote the person I was speaking with. I don't think Gemma does consider herself left but yet the people who would deny her rights to challenge do claim it. Not all obviously but it happens.

Just have a read through this thread, how many people here would claim to be left wing but are shouting down the opposition? What about the pro choice and pro life sides? Both screaming to silence the other. Both openly selling lies to win the argument.

Then you have so many international groups. Anti fascism groups who will use violence to silence the opposition. Even the Nazis and Stalin had a foot in the socialist and communist corner but I wouldn't call either a left wing liberal. They were dictators who had both left and right wing in them. That's my point. Fascists and dictators while supposedly a right wing entity, frequently pop up in left wing circles.

And before anyone does accuse me of supporting fascists, racism or whatever else (they still will). I don't, I think freedom of speech doesn't just mean allowing someone I agree with speak, it means also allowing those I disagree with. Freedom of assembly means groups I dislike being allowed rally and so on. It means accepting that people have didn't opinions and beliefs to me. I'm not religious but I recognize the right for you to practice a religion. And so on...

The should be locked up on public health and safety grounds until this passes. They should also be evaluated by mental health professionals.

I support protest but this is endangering lives. They could write letters to politicians and/or protest while socially distanced.

Can you please explain why you believe it is illegal?

Can you please explain why it is "dangerous" and "totalitarian" ?

Totalitarian?! Legislation based upon medical advice to save lives during a pandemic?! Legislation that the majority of the country supports? This is simply evidence of a functioning democracy.

Some UK legal opinion. Hopefully people will be able to see the attachments.

A majority of people supporting something does not necessarily mean that it is not totalitarian. One cannot legislate away true, fundamental and perpetual freedoms.

Our freedoms are qualified, not absolute. Also, there's no such thing as 'true,' or 'perpetual' freedoms.

Its not even from the solicitors it claims to be from, let alone be considered legal opinion.

Opinion on the constitutionality of UK legislation is totally irrelevant in ireland. Two very different constitutions. We have a written constitution for a start.

I am not sure why people aim vitriol at her, I think the videos of people running after her shouting abuse at her is just as bad as the cr*p she gets up to

Personally I think she seen the money Katie Hopkins was making and decided that was a route to take career wise. It just hasn't gone according to plan.....

She hasn't the exposure that Hopkins got and ended up with the shower in that picture. Its just going downhill and it aint going to get any better.

Maybe, but I can’t imagine anyone thinking Hopkins’ tack is anything to aspire to. For all her bluster, I suspect that Hopkins’ life is not an easy one. She has to keep going down the track she started on but I bet she regrets it sometimes. Has it made her rich? I’ve never heard anything about her finances.

Hopkins is broke, she lost all work and had to sell her house.

Google it, she lives in a massive house and is worth over 2.75 mil UKP....

Before she became so "famous" she hadn't two pennys to rub together

Don’t think that’s true. I first saw her on the Apprentice and it was clear that she was from a wealthy background.

Just seen she sold house, still listed as 1-2mil worth....

Before that she was rolling in it, about the time Gemma decided she wasnt making enough from those pesky newspapers

Protests so far in France, Germany, Russia, Iraq, Lebanon, Phillippines, Malawi and the US.

Lockdown ruled illegal by Supreme Court in Malawi after a human rights group took a case.

So?

So?

So it isn't merely 'Trumptards' or 'Murica' people who are opposed to lockdowns.

We don't have a lockdown, just extreme restrictions and in all probability they will be lifted in 12 days. Once this ends those new powers end with it.

She was doing very well until she lost a couple of libel judgement. She could have kept it all if she had just said sorry.

It was nice to see her getting this award this year though;

All using different legal systems to us. Malawi is probable the closest and that changed dramatically after Independence
