Watch: Peaceful protests in Somerset towns over Easter weekend

PEACEFUL protests took place across Somerset yesterday against the new policing bill.
Many turned up to support the cause in Taunton, but the largest demonstration was in Bristol, with around 1,500 people.
The protests in all towns were peaceful, but after a Section 35 Dispersal Order was implemented in Bristol, seven people were arrested.
In Taunton, people from BLM Taunton and Extinction Rebellion Youth (XR Youth) organised the protest at Market House from 12pm until 2pm.
This demonstration was after Kill The Bill protesters called for a National Weekend of Action over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
The demonstrations are against the Government's Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Bill, which criminalises protests deemed a "public nuisance".
