With scarcely a voice being raised against it, we are sliding into a police state, in which an entirely peaceful protester, trying to prevent a societal catastrophe, can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the road.

they are just fluffy terrorists who should be treated like real terrorists. How do they get to these protests. They drive. Why are so many of their social media posts from exotic locations. Did they walk there. Hypocrites will alwys be hypocrites, Moonbat

I 'get' this story. But I also wonder how I'd react, if there were slow marching anti-choice ppl wandering down roads to schools preventing parents from dropping off their kids and getting to work. It's a cross I bear, to often consider how laws/absence of laws may be used for other purposes.😬

The UK has been pretty much less of a United but more of a Police Kingdom for as long as "Five Eyes" have been existing.

Absolutely. I am not from the UK and do not live there, but as someone with a deep interest in global politics, and my admiration for UK democracy, I follow UK politics. The move right and away from democratic norms is disturbing

This is a real concern.... A spokesperson for the campaign said: “Section 7 of the Public Order Act 2023, a law drafted by the fossil fuel lobby, was introduced in April by Priti Patel, and covers ‘interference with the use or operation of key national infrastructure’.

Where are all those famous "defenders of freedom" now? Ah yes, the only freedoms they defend are the freedoms to spread hatred about Black and Brown people, Jews, Muslims, women and people with disabilities. They couldn't give a damn about fundamental liberties.

Yes but some haven’t helped themselves or us. Namely those who stop traffic and hold up emergency vehicles and people needing to get to a variety of places. These irresponsible self-defeating protestors have made it easier for government to take away these rights.

It's like this in Australia now. Even Labor governments are bringing in anti protest laws to protect their fossil fuel donors. Democracy is failing.
