Have to log out but this is the point:
At 3pm today every police force in England was saying protest could never be lawful under Covid regs.
The position now, because of the ruling, is protest can in principle be lawful and it is up to the police to assess the proportionality

The only reason judge didn't make declaration we wanted (that the right to protest has to be part of every decision made by police re protest) is the police conceded the point just before the hearing, contrary to their policy which we had and also their statements to our clients.
Absolutely amazing effort by @ReclaimTS - we are lucky to have such amazing publicly minded women in our society.

Will have a big impact, trust me

Whether this means the vigils will go ahead - look to the organisers and police, the court did not (and was not asked to) approve the particular vigil
