There are two of more things driving the cumulative protest legislation push. The test will come when the first use it, and we find out which they want to use it against.

1. We have had various highly disruptive repeated "climate" protests (Just stop Oil, etc)

2. We have had over a year of "pro Palestinian" hate marches, more or less every weekend.

3. We have had repeated protests outside various hotels repurposed as hostels for housing illegal migrants.

Of these the latter is the most recent, least disruptive, but most embarrassing for the regime. The regime seems to be complicit with the second.

I suspect most folks expect this power to be used against '2', but I'd not be surprised if it was used against '3' instead.
