As I have said, I do not think that anyone would be prosecuted in those circumstances. I do not think that it would be the Home Secretary’s intention. Of course, it would be up to the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether a prosecution should take place. The evidence would have to be gathered and presented to the CPS. A prosecution could not be brought automatically just because someone had held up a placard.
