This isn’t right casual observer of riots refused bail

He sounds like a tyrant. If I were they, I would start to think along the lines that out of all those who attended the protests, there are going to be some who did not do anything illegal but were punished for their political persuasion. We have a right to a fair trial, as per no detention without trial unless it is a matter of security, i.e. danger to the public. We have a right to freedom of expression and the right to freely move around the country and be treated equally to all others. We can not be discriminated agaisnt by virtue of our political beliefs. The only time in this case where the police and courts actually have any jurisdiction is if it can be proved they were causing public disorder. That would be say like fighting the police, throwing something or setting fire to something. If they were standing there and shouting their political views then that is allowed and protected in law. The whole thing hinges on whether they intended to cause harm and at the same time did some action to this effect. Of course they could legitimately get them on conspiracy if they had not carried out the harm but had planned to by their actions of being equipped with say incendiary devices or knives.

With such an idiot as a judge there will likely be cases where the decision will be struck out by higher court judges. This will have the effect of creating case law to protect the "Far Right". This is how you turn a disaster into a success - lol - a bit of crowd funding I think.
