## Resource

Parliament pushed for a face-covering ban at protests to expose identities, but police, prosecutors, and mayors strongly opposed it—arguing existing laws were sufficient. Ministers, caught between political pressure and practical reality, now say they won’t overhaul the system, citing the Public Assemblies Act as adequate. The ban is on hold, with ministers open to future talks—but the real action’s already been paused. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
