"Original comments were very much tongue in cheek , along the lines of one rule for anything politically motivated and another rule for the rest ."

well, tongue in cheek or not

I think there should be different rules for political events than other events like football etc


why?

because footie and sports and theatre are merely entertainment --


political events - like public assembly and elections are the very basic pillars of our democratic systems


stop a footie match - it's no big deal


stop a peaceful assembly ---------------- you are chipping at a pillar of your system
