Funkydog 05/03/23 10:41:23 AM #1:	https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/may/02/anti-monarchists-receive-intimidatory-home-office-letter-on-new-protest-laws-coronation Protesters who block roads, airports and railways could face 12 months behind bars. Anyone locking on to others, objects or buildings could go to prison for six months and face an unlimited fine. Police will be able to head off disruption by stopping and searching protesters if they suspect they are setting out to cause chaos. Its worrying to see the police handed so many new powers to restrict protest, especially before a major national event. When the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act came into force, the police repeatedly misused them in part because they simply did not understand them. Similarly, when Queen Elizabeth died, we saw police acting in inappropriate and heavy-handed ways towards protesters that violated their rights. Some key points from the article. Now, you cannot protest in ANY disruptive manner, block ANYONE in any manner, link arms with one another or even just be in the fucking vicinity of somewhere a protest MIGHT happen. Yes. The police can detain you, without evidence, if they believe you might be 'causing a nuisance' or a protest might happen. They dont need evidence, but simply need to think it. At this point, Britain has hit every single 'fascist' point in the 'going into fascism' bullet point list and shows no signs of slowing down. And if this is meant to stop all the peaceful protest, why should they not just follow the French and burn it all down if they will face years of jail anyway? Fuck the evil calling themselves Tories and fuck any Labour or Lib Dem who doesn't utterly condemn this. --- Let's make biscuits! <cite>Funkydog posted [p:973236836] in UK finally...

I wonder if it will lead to new efforts from Scotland to leave. It won't. Scottish independence politics are a massive mess right now, and tbh I think a loooot of the uk are curtain twitching authoritarians who probably support these measures, even in Scotland. --- Ghosts are cool. <cite>FurryPhilosifer posted [p:973239767] in UK finally...

Also, for those like Neon and Vy whining about disruptive protest you do realise you both only have the rights you do due to the type of protest you are bitching about, right? Workers rights? Violent and disruptive protests Women's rights? Violent and disruptive protests LGBTQ+ rights? You guessed it. Violent and disruptive protests. You and everyone around you only get to enjoy what you do because someone else violently and annoyingly told corporations and the government to go fuck themselves. I don't think either of them have any knowledge of the history of any of those movements. It's literally impossible to study any civil rights movement and not see that it's never as simple as kindly asking for your rights. The US government literally dropped bombs on striking coal miners in their fight for better working conditions. The black panthers were absolutely instrumental in the push for civil rights for African Americans. The stonewall riots were the birthplace of pride. Acting like protests are detrimental to your cause is ignorant at best. --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] <cite>Gwynevere posted [p:973239914] in UK finally...
