Hmmm... here's a Q:

Is the likely new law that will criminalise harassment of MPs & other holders of public offices outside their homes, a fair protection from harassment... or, is it yet more constraint on the right to protest?

Much will depend on your reading of past protests & their impact on politicians lives... and how you might assess police over-reach in other laws which started from 'reasonable concerns', but then have been widened in use?
