Every single thing in the text you (inaccurately) quoted.

City Hall is no longer on a private estate, no Kuwaiti investment company is involved, and the application process involves no "corporate permission" - you submit a form to the city government, and it sounds like the point is to make sure each rally is allocated a separate area, and they don't deny permission outright.

Please don't be unreasonable.

Your first sentence makes no sense. It's quoted directly from the Guardian article, not from me.

FWIW, look at the next article I linked. You're really understating the restrictions for a public, outdoor venue. This is on brand with restrictive public use.

- No noise directed outwards

- no noise after 6PM

- confined to two lawns (that can't fit more than 3k people)

- no sound speakers

- no overnight rallies even if quiet

- leave no trash

- no food for others

- you're strongly advised to fill out a notification form if your group is larger than a dozen people
