Police and council bosses are to apply to the Government to have protest marches by extremist groups in Rotherham outlawed.
Rotherham Council’s commissioners have written to Home Secretary Theresa May advising her they are planning to make a joint submission with South Yorkshire Police asking to be allowed the special powers.
...
They want to be granted powers under the Public Order Act that would allow for the banning of public marches of an initial period of up to three months.
...
The most expensive and high-profile operations followed the publication of the Jay report in August, which revealed South Yorkshire Police and Rotherham Council had failed at least 1,400 victims of child sexual exploitation over a 16-year-period, with many of the main offenders being men of Pakistani origin.
...
In her letter to the Home Secretary, Commissioner Mary Ney said while it is hoped the costs of policing the marches will be met through a Home Office grant, the public money that has gone on dealing with the demonstrations could be ‘better spent’.

God help that anyone would protest the systematic sexual abuse of young girls. ...especially when the government covered it up and aided the abusers.
Yeah, it’s “extremist” to protest against brutal, repeated sexual assault of 12 year old girls.
exactly
Rape Jihad is legal in England. Polygamy is legal in England.
Obama will make both legal here.
The council and police ignored the rape of girls but is quick to stop protests of it...the UK is messed up!
“She said: “Over an extended period, the town has been subject to a significant number of events by right-wing groups, and counter demonstrations by left wing groups.”
Who’s protesting in favor?

No, they are not legal, don’t be silly.
NO.
The police and council are messed up, the ordinary people of the UK are not. We are angry and disgusted.
The problem is that whilst there are and have been genuine protests by the public in Rotherham, far right groups like the BNP and others use the issue as an excuse to march and cause trouble, as do the self righteous ‘anti-racist’ morons. Who are equally yobbish.
When women have called the police about Muslims’ gang-raping them, the police blow them off. That’s legal.
No, its shameful inaction.

So, folks won’t be able to express their opinion outside their home because the government can’t afford to put Bobbies on the street?
That would keep me home, I’m sure...
Sounds like the Brits - fix the problem by ending the complaining...
>> Who’s protesting in favor? <<
Moslems [ and lefties ? ] .
You obviously have no appreciation for poetic speech.
Free speech doesn’t exist in the UK (or Canada for that matter). Soon to be the same here.
