So, wrong again.
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Is that what is wrong with democrats? What you posted is irrelevant and quite stupid. What I am talking about is the laws idiots got changed, that changed peoples lives. And other idiots that have no clue. Nor will they accept one.
Quote:Policing protest in the UK
The right to protest in the UK has been eroded in recent years - particularly in England and Wales - despite being protected under international law. In 2022, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act handed police in England and Wales broad powers to shut down protests and expanded criminal offences and punishments for peaceful protest activities.
This was followed by the even more draconian Public Order Act 2023 and the particularly controversial Serious Disruption Regulations 2023, regulations that were recently found by the High Court to be unlawful, but which remain in place while the government pursues an appeal.
Thanks to this authoritarian legislation, police can define almost any demonstration as “seriously disruptive” and impose restrictions on it. Peaceful tactics like locking on, tunnelling and even causing “serious annoyance” have been criminalised. New powers have been created to issue orders banning people from even attending protests.
There has also been a steep rise in the use of facial recognition technology in the policing of protest. This is despite the UK Court of Appeal concluding in 2020 that the legal framework in place at the time for this technology violated human rights.
Hundreds of protesters have been arrested. Some have received long custodial sentences and many prosecutions remain pending. Following his visit to the UK in January this year, the UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders warned that environmental activists face a “severe crackdown” due to the repressive legislative framework and introduction of new criminal charges.
New stop and search powers, including suspicionless stop and search, can be used against people at or on the way to protests. Existing evidence highlights that stop-and-search powers are disproportionately used against Black and other minoritised people, itself a feature of an institutionally racist policing and criminal justice system. The expansion of these powers serves as a gateway for further racialised police encounters.

When you hear “part and parcel” do you not think of the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan?

Yes this wasn’t London but it’s an indictment of that whole island, which is subject to immigrant terror, and you know it.
I asked you for a source? Dude?
The suspect is not an immigrant. Born here, apparently.
So take your ignorance elsewhere, please?
This is what the Mayor of London actually said:

The Stonehenge protesters were not gagged and had legal representation to defend themselves, contrary to what you claim.
I don't agree with them but there you go.

But racist Barbie memes aside, how many of that Reform mob or Tommy 10 names mates have previous for the likes of domestic abuse or are known SO?
The answer is far too many. How to look stupid 101.......
Can you quote your source that backs up your statement that "many of that Reform mob" have previous for the likes of domestic abuse or are known SO ? (Tommy 10 names is nothing to do with Reform BTW).
Basically your stating that Labour, Tories, Greens, Lib Dems supporters etc are all whiter than white ?
I wont hold my breath waiting for an answer ;)
