I have a question, could you be taken away whilst protesting because of your age?

ooh, interesting question.

I don't think so. I think as long as you are obeying the law, you are allowed to protest under article 11

Ooh. Because I was protesting in Birmingham, and I had a lot of questions thrown at me about if young people are allowed, but I just answered "it's freedom of speech".

I'm sure that as long as your protest peacefully and obey the rules of the protest anyone can.

When i was younger, and in a religious place, so to speak, i went on a protest too, and there were younger children there.

The fact is, age is sometimes irrelevant. After all you could point out, if people YOUR age can choose to DISCONNECT from their families, you can choose to warn others about Disconnection

I think they're making age discrimination illegal now, but it's basic human rights that you get to protest. Don't worry about it.

There was a protest against school closures recently in a nearby town and there were kids involved in that, so legally kids are allowed to protest but do they need to be accompanied by a responsible adult?

I'd say for this protest, well informed teenagers would be welcome as long as they are there for the right reasons but I'd feel uncomfortable with younger unaccompanied kids taking part

You just know that the scienos would try to use it against us, they'd say look it's just a bunch of silly kids you can't take them seriously,

Also they have sent their own kids to bait us and they've called us pedophiles in one of their lying propoganda videos, so we do need to be very careful.

I think as always, parental consent and discretion is necessary.

<_< I didn't see many young people, youngest I'd say were 16 year olds?
I went with Anons who were adults, because they offered to keep me out of harms way.
A lot of the younger people were targeted but had lots of strong suggestions to the protest and good answers to difficult questions when asked by the press.

But anyway, pedophiles? They're calling us every name under the sun.

Not that we can give you a form to sign and give to your parents.

But, just tell your folks where you are going, come in disguise and keep to the law and we'll be just fine. :)

Those of us who are among the younger of us, do remember - if you're coming, Anonymity is key. Of all people, we don't want you getting fairgamed. (Not that we want anyone fairgamed.)

My parents agree with the protest because of what it's done to part of our family, they just want me to wear my mask 24/7. Funny how my dad ordered V for Vendetta masks and handed them out to people in Birmingham ;DD.
