It’s not going to stop them from continuing to try to push it through though. The sooner we have the general election the better.
Just need to extend abortion clinic exclusion zones to all major road and rail networks, and this sub will be cheering it on
The police already have all the powers they need to deal with protests, they just choose when and where to use them.
Good news. The right to protest is gravely important. But they’ll keep trying, for sure.
please god everyone go and vote when the time comes
the police should be there to protect and serve right? Well what are they protecting and who are they serving? It should be the people of this country that they are protecting and serving, and so any cop with any ounce of scruples should be out on the street protesting against these laws because they are an attack on the people they are suppose to (apparently) be protecting and serving!
Good on the courts for this and good on the current bunches of protesters regularly protesting for continuing to keep it pretty sensible (regardless of what silly Billy’s on the opposite end say) proving that this is just authoritarian overachieving lumps of mediocrity throwing their weight around.
Didn’t the Covert Human Intelligence Sources act give them enough unregulated powers?
Governments have a trend of gradually removing peoples rights under ‘extreme circumstances ‘ and then not removing them. Labour is just Tory Lite. Both are fascist and both will try to stop lawful protest.
Aye, so it is. The plans to increase police powers are the real threat to free speech, not transphobes being called out for being transphobes.
