The choir's leader states he obtained documents allowing the children to sing five songs, but the police there say the rules state that no singing is allowed. Maybe just a big misunderstanding but everyone including myself are totally confused as to what the rules really are and in government, in my experience, nobody knows what anyone else is doing.

Or, they make it *look like* nobody knows what anyone else is doing on purpose as part of the strategy They ALWAYS have more than one glove that doesn't fit

The only rule that seems to be in place, is that if I don't agree with you then you can be cancelled.
Well, the police seemed to interpret the song as a demonstration. Then the question becomes do capital police use their own discretion as to what they deem a demonstration, or are they really following a rule book or interpreting the rule book correctly?
Here are the guest guidelines and it states that it is a courtesy to be quiet as people are working there.

Or, somebody higher up got *paid* to "interpret" a specific way, and even had legal advice to make it easier to "interpret".

So it stands to reason that singing would not be allowed no matter the song because it would disrupt the people who are working there.

But reports say they had a permit. Why would a permit be issued ?
