I cannot see the link between Covid restrictions on funerals and the right to protest. The word whataboutery is overused but it seems appropriate to that comparison. The news coverage today suggests other forces were less rigid in their interpretation.
A protest is designed to raise the profile of an issue and get it on the media and political agenda. Have you never felt strongly enough on an issue to join a demo or march?
With the assistance of the MPS last night's vigil has achieved that end summa cum laude.
