Event Details

Join the Southwark Liberal Democrat’s on the 4th of August at 19:00 for an evening of discussion with protest rights barrister Cllr Hamish McCallum. The event will be hosted at Wade Hall in Bermondsey.

What are the limits of peaceful protest in the UK today? Are our civil liberties being steadily eroded? When does protest cross the line into terrorism — and who decides? Should the state ever have the power to silence dissent?

These are some of the urgent and complex questions we’ll be exploring with Hamish McCallum, a barrister specialising in protest law. Hamish has worked on high-profile cases involving Bibby Stockholm, Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action. He has also contributed to the Covid Inquiry.

This promises to be a fascinating discussion on one of the most pressing issues of our time. Whether you’re an activist or just curious, all are welcome to join the conversation.

🍷 Enjoy a glass of wine or a soft drink while we delve into the rights—and limits—of protest in modern Britain.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Liberal Democrats generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Liberal Democrats, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
