Not a legal comment as such but this looks unsatisfactory from a policy perspective. It suggests that the political tactics of encouraging protests & whipping up fear, even if unjustified, can affect the decision (even if only of "limited weight").

Not usually, as keeping my posts from being overly long is already a struggle, but we always link to the judgment on Bailii and that sets out representation (sols & counsel) at the top of the page, so the info isn't too far away.
