[quote]If you want to run a protest it now seems that you need to purchase very expensive PLI  ( Public Liability Insurance )

In the old days of free speech this type of insurance was only necessary for running a public event - usually a commercial event.

These days NEW LABOUR are using Public Liability Insurance as a weapon against any community events they dont like and against any protests they want to ban ( which is almost every single one )

What this means is this :

Legitimate protest by ordinary people about anything is now effectively banned by New Labour.  &quot;Organised&quot; protest by &quot;organisations&quot; can still continue because many of these have PLI and can extend their policies for a small premium.

But most people do not have such a policy.  That is why Village Fetes and fun days are being cancelled all over the UK.  Why there are no political protests taking place on our streets - because unless a protest is &quot; instant &quot;  the New Labour Authorities ban it unless it has PLI.

I have no idea what the cost would be - but I would have thought that it would be around &pound;100 a licence for each 1000 attending ?[/quote]
