Anti-vaxxers going too far?

[Craig the cyclist]

Should the right of protest include going to a private address, occupied at the time by a lone woman, and handing over pseudo-legal documents?

Or should they be arrested for harassment?

How would you react to being given one of these letters at your house?

I think it's at the outer margin of acceptable protest.

No good arresting them for harassment unless there's an actual offence committed and a reasonable prospect of conviction.

I would have thought it could be considered acceptable, IF everyone one of the protesters present would be willing to have a similar pro-vaccine demonstration (or other subject of your choice) mounted at their home, on a Sunday.

In reality, I can see no valid reason to protest. Vaccination is not compulsory, if you don't want it/ don't believe in it, then, don't have it.

Thread resurrection.

Local News yesterday, reporting that Anti-Vax protesters, protesting outside, schools, and even gaining access to some schools. Intimidating staff, pupils and parents.

What happened to peaceful protest?

Protesters in Cornwall vandalised a vaccination site overnight.

Or get covered in ink.

Our road has been leafletted (7 or 8 printed leaflets in every letter box) by anti-vaxxers. We're wondering what the source of funding is?

This may be a clue.

Just take your vaccine & shut up!

Just think of it as Darwinism in action and an opportunity to spruce up the genome.

A friend of mine was in York last weekend.

She saw 'quite a lot' of anti-vaxxers in the central area.

Largely harmless, although things got a bit nasty after dark, presumably after the protesters and/or the passers by got a few sherberts inside them.

Anti-vaxxers in Saxony gathering at the private house of the health minister:

Guess who the last person was who used torchlight processions for political intimidation.

Trump?

Or are we limiting ourselves to Germany?
