The article is also wrong. There is no need for organisers to “submit” a risk assessment. They just have to do a risk assessment.
Again, the police are operating as gatekeepers of rather than facilitators to lawful protest.

This also highlights how unclear the law remains. There is an exception for gathering if they protest organiser has submitted a risk assessment etc. But how is a *participant* to know whether the risk assessment has been submitted or is sufficient?
No doubt police will treat a protest which has become what they consider to be a public health risk as illegal. But if the organiser has gone through the necessary precautions, there is no illegality. Again, too much is in the hands of the police who are not public health experts
