real news: As the Faithful Nationals held their picket on Wednesday morning, January 10, the Police were dispatched to the scene to ask that they remove themselves from the Ministry of Agriculture premises.
The protestors had converged on the Ministry’s headquarters, located on Independence Drive, in objection to the destruction of the Dunbars Agricultural and Research Station.
However, gathering on the compound allegedly was in breach of the Public Order Act, and this was pointed out to them by a senior police officer.
Apparently, in the Act, the location qualifies as a “scheduled place,”
and this does not permit protest action to take place on the
compound.

If they were on the premises, I agree with them getting off but certainly not in agreement with the protest ending. They could and should continue protesting in accordance with the law, on the side of the road or adjacent property in which permission is granted.
Keep standing up for what you want in life.
Well, well, well … look dey, Gaston Browne can find policing for demonstrations like Teargas Sunday and this one, yet he can’t find them to police our streets, towns and villages.
I told you that Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney; Attorney General Steadroy Benjamin; our out of kilter Prime Minister are wilfully neglecting the citizens of this country.
You watch, we’ll see them sending out the police for the demonstrations on tax increases …
… POOR ANTIGUA, WE ARE LIONS LED BY A BUNCH OF JACK A&SE#

This is an issue of law. Being an Officer of The Court, address the legal elements and leave the light weight issues to non lawyers.
What is the the Public Order Act? Is is some bogus law drawn up by politicians to shield them from public protest.
You live abroad you work abroad. They seemingly don’t want to approve your mysterious business project.
There are other ways to give back. Like the Constitution reform group
