Episode Details

73-year-old activist Heather Rawling, a member of the Socialist Party, faces a £100 fine for setting up a small camping table in Leicester city center to collect signatures against public service cuts. She refuses to pay, believing the fine targets her political protest. The council has warned of a potential criminal record and £1000 penalty, but has been silent since. The public spaces protection order, aimed at stopping anti-social behavior, has raised concerns about limiting free speech. The council is reviewing Rawlings case and plans to contact her soon.
