With the exceptions of immigrant 'communities' and far left / right rent-a-mobs, it takes an awful lot to get a major protest going here. It just isn't in the national character any longer - it used to be until the late 18th Century, but it has now become a very rare thing for native Britons to seriously protest about anything. This is particularly strange when one considers that social media and modern communications make organising such things much easier.Which is the reason why the msm are basically censoring the news about protests in Europe…….. the gov are worried the idea might be catching. I have a feeling the general population are pretty disgruntled about all sorts of stuff but, so far, those thoughts have been repressed.
As for the illegality of protests and of driving tractors etc. to any given point or along any given route... much depends on intent and context, and - ha, ha, ha - reasonable interpretation of the law by the police. Yet, and despite efforts by HMG and the CS to restrict public protest, there are still lacunae.
