Surely Reactionary BS

Looks like another reactionary theme, where the protest has no bearing to anything substantial worth protesting about. As you say, where is the evidence of any "moves" to require this? Legislation before parlaiment? Member's bill? And who told the petitioner he had a "right" to take photos, let alone that it was under threat?

This is like the debate over Christian symbols and lore being under attack. Who ever actually said we shouldn't call the Christmas holidays just that? Can't remember anyone actually putting forward that position. Yet the media was full of wails of protest citing a "recent" trend towards the expression "season's greetings" as PC - complete bollocks: that has been on cards for years.
