Extinction Rebel naturally had no respect for the regulation, and defied the ban, leading to at the very least 1760 arrests together with the arrest George Monbiot (the video exhibits Monbiot laughing as he’s dragged away by police – all an enormous joke to him).

This isn’t about banning freedom of meeting. The British police seem to have executed every part of their energy to accommodate Extinction Rebel’s ongoing proper to protest. The rule doesn’t stop Extinction Rebel from holding protests elsewhere.
