How many of you know what happened yesterday? A new "independent" review for the government, proposing that the last rights of left-wing movements to protest are terminated. Blatantly partisan, dictator's powers, yet scarcely any coverage. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
A #police#state is created through the death of #FreeSpeech but one thousand cuts. The #UK needs a written #Constitution and a Bill of Rights to protect us from politicians who think they are right, when they are merely scared and angry.
It's part of a pattern of appointing extreme rightwingers as "independent" policy reviewers. The kind of thing Victor Orban does in Hungary. Now standard practice in the UK too.
