      Good. Some of them have gone way too far. While protest is a right, things have gone too far

      Protests should be shut down if they exceed certain tolerances. But those tolerances should be politically neutral.

      The police should not be given extra powers to shut down protests about a specific political topic.

      The current anti-protest laws give the government far too much power to shut down things they don’t like.

      If you read the article it is just a puff piece for Gideon Falter, the guy who claimed to have been threatened with arrest for being “openly Jewish” before all the facts came out.

      These proposals, if they come onto the statute book, would mean the end of having the legal right to mount a sustained protest movement.

      This basically goes back to the comments James Cleverly made earlier in the year that the marches should stop because they’d made their point.

      Its the language of dictators, not political parties that assert they are about freedom and small government.

      The protestors are taking the piss. I think a post Hamas Gaza strip is the first step on the long road to peace. I respect protestors who are complaining about the loss of life in the Gaza strip, most people want to minimise that, however many protestors are Hamas supporters and hate Israel and Jews, they believe in the conspiracy theory that Israel is lying about the October 7th atrocities, these people need to get off the streets.
