Join the Southwark Liberal Democrat’s on the 4th of August at 19:00 for an evening of discussion with protest rights barrister Cllr Hamish McCallum. The event will be hosted at Wade Hall in Bermondsey.
What are the limits of peaceful protest in the UK today? Are our civil liberties being steadily eroded? When does protest cross the line into terrorism — and who decides? Should the state ever have the power to silence dissent?
These are some of the urgent and complex questions we’ll be exploring with Hamish McCallum, a barrister specialising in protest law. Hamish has worked on high-profile cases involving Bibby Stockholm, Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action. He has also worked on the Covid Inquiry.
This promises to be a fascinating discussion on one of the most pressing issues of our time. Whether you’re an activist or just curious, all are welcome to join the conversation.
🍷 Enjoy a glass of wine or a soft drink while we delve into the rights—and limits—of protest in modern Britain.

🧡 Be a champion for your neighbours
🧡 Stand up for the issues you care about
🧡 Help shape the future of your area
We want to hear from anyone that cares for Southwark but we especially want to hear from women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ residents, disabled people, and others whose voices are too often missing in politics. You don’t need to be a political expert—just someone who cares and wants to make a difference.
