Show Notes
Heather Rawling, a 73-year-old pensioner, triumphs over a £100 fine for protesting council cuts in Leicester. The city council dropped the charge after Rawling refused to pay, citing freedom of speech. The councils recent Public Space Protection Order, aimed at curbing anti-social behavior, also restricted political activities. Rawlings case withdrawal and the councils non-interference with other campaign groups suggest a potential shift in enforcement.
