Isn't it annoying how hard it is to ban behaviour you don't like without risking banning behaviour you approve of. What's a progressive authoritarian to do?

It's not that simple.

They haven't been banned, they've been moved 100m down the road from outside the doors of the clinic.

A very fair, and reasonable compromise I feel.

Would it be fair to allow anti-monarchy protesters to protest only 100m from anyone celbrating the coronation?

Surely 100 yards would be more appropriate

I think there's a difference between protesting an event and protesting individuals seeking medical help.
