This time I wholeheartedly agree with you. The rights of protesters need to be balanced against the rights of people to go about their lawful activities. Being restricted from protesting outside family planning clinics does not obviate their right to protest 150m away.
Perhaps this principle could also be applied to the pinheads that chain themselves to machinery etc?
