Also, as far as I understand it, fine if you give permission for the photo.

You can generally take a photo of anyone and anything in a public place as long as it’s not for nefarious purposes. For example you could take a photo of the sea on a nudist beach but if you took photos of the people there you’d either need their permission or have a damn good reason to be doing it (there isn’t one IMO).

So to avoid depression you advocate taking pictures of breastfeeding women without their permission

Richard you make leaps an olympian would be impressed by in no way was I supporting anything nefarious. You won't be happy until there's no interaction because everyone would be so scared to say more then hello\goodbye for fear of running foul of laws. Your clearly someone who feels threatened a lot and given your demeanour you've probably incited a few instances where people have reacted negatively to you. The law is not a solution for every problem and a lot of what you want laws to remedy could be done more easily with developing a thick skin and a realisation that not everywhere is suited for everyone.

In those instances where an individual targets another individual sufficient laws already exist to deal with that.

That you actually believe the nonsense you just posted is hilarious.

Pretty sure this thread is now turning into one persons personal agender. I am not in anyway a moderator on this forum but this thread is way off it's original starting point.

It doesn't matter what you or I think now that the consultation period is over, these new measures look set to become law and are currently being looked at by politicians.

Whilst I disagree with much of what you say, I do genuinely thank you for putting your views across in a polite and mature fashion without resorting to snide, sneery and generally rude comments. Some on this forum could learn a lot from you.

It started by highlighting that the police intended to crack down on Internet trolls. The position today is that the politicians are now considering what to include in the laws to achieve this aim.

Well I just hope that common sense prevails over idiocy.
