I have changed the piece about the Glasgow demonstration. CED (Concise Oxford Dictionary) defines protest when used intransitively as make a protest against an action, proposal etc usually followed by “against” “at” “about” etc. It can also be used transitively sometimes followed by “that” and means “affirm” Thus to “protest the faith of Jesus Christ” means to affirm the truth of that faith. “To protest that Darwin’s theory of Evolution is true,” means exactly that the speaker or writer believes the theory to be valid and accurate. Protest can therefore be positive rather than negative and it seems to me to be dangerous to use a sentence like
“He protested abortion” without adding the words “against or “in favour of” after the word protest. Unemployed workers make protests of this kind because they want to work. Employed workers do not usually take to the streets because they want to be made redundant.Spinney Hill (talk) 08:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
