Public Order Bill
The legislation will aim to prevent highly disruptive tactics used by protest groups such as Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion. It will make “locking-on” – when activists lock or glue themselves together or to buildings – a new offence. The bill will also outline a new offence for “interfering with key national infrastructure” such as airports, railways and printing presses, with a maximum sentence of 12 months.
So they are pushing ahead with their clampdown on protests in a massively unnecessary over the top response. In a democracy, protest is part of it. So if protesting (preferably on your own unless near Parliament then don't come at all), don't make a noise or be noticed and just shuffle by disturbing nobody. And Liz Truss is talking about defending democracy....
So you are happy with idiots gluing their hands to the roads to prevent people from going anout their daily business.
What was it someone firing one of these protests were taking one of their parents to the hospital as they’ve had a stroke, but because of the blockade the car couldn’t get through and the extra time it took me at the stroke the parent was having became worse and he/she is now paralysed down one side and needs continuous care.
Nothing is guaranteed but they hospital claim the parent would have had more chance if they got their quicker.
So yes the bill should stand and get passed, and if the protesters are locked up for 12 months then so be it.
