The GLA are trying to get a byelaw through which will ban things like holding signs / assembling / filming / taking pictures / any kind of performance / giving any kind of public speech without express written permission.

It was "announced" yesterday via a tiny notice hidden in the jobs section of the Evening standard.

Anyone who wants to has a month to object, I thought some of you might like to know.

(Sorry it's a thread about a thread, but I feel it's important.)

It's only a minor change (as both sites are already regulated) and there are plenty of other sites in London.

As the public consultation period has already expired, there isn't much scope now anyhow.
