@cyrilpedia Good to see Govt positive response to public protest. We could do with some of this in the UK. Public protest being resolutely ignored here despite the desperate basis for them - whether it’s derisory pay for public workers, investment in fossil fuels, dangerous housing or cruelty towards refugees.
