    I think we can clear this up now.

    This was a totalitarian restriction of the freedom of the press, but only in a a very specific and limited way.

    So that's OK!

      All seem to have disappeared, presumably now waiting for their court cases and paying fines before venturing out again.

      The key seems to be to leave them for months to wait for their court case to come up and give them vague threats of huge fines.
      I'm alright Jack

        It failed as other newspaper groups including those that have leftie titles e.g. The Mirror started print runs for them so they could get some papers out.

        What protesters don't realise is journalists are protective of their own if they are proper journalists and not the likes of Farrage.

          The Times might be Tory supporting, but definitely not the current shower supporting. Despite their attempts to ingratiate themselves.

            Following BJ's embarrassing performance at PMQ's today I think we should use the correct terminology:

            Crusty Left Wing Anarchists.

            Regardless of one's politics the weekly spectacle of a QC dismantling Boris by asking the same question repeatedly until all Boris' canned responses are exhausted is fascinating to watch. Enjoyable.

              A certain Ms Patel is inventing ways to arrest those Crusty Left Wing Anarchists. They don't help themselves though Climate protesters 'arrested at entrance to parliament' before PMQs | Metro News
