Large protest tonight Brighton!

[Justice]

They were protesting about the police trying to stop protesting. Bunch of unwashed idiots, letting off flares outside the police station, shouting **** the police, calling them wankers etc.
Police should've tear gassed the lot of them for breaking lockdown rules.

So if you wish to protest about something in the future that you believe in you should expect to be tear gassed? Or shall we just label you an idiot for wanting to make a difference?

As a community we had to take to the streets in our area when they wanted to open a rehabilitation centre for kiddy fiddlers very close to our local primary school. The community through weekends of protesting won on this occasion. If you can’t see that awful Patel woman is trying to silence you then who is the real idiot?

None that I know, but violence isn’t the real issue, we wouldn’t have gained permission in the first place, they just wouldn’t have allowed us to protest !

Just asking, how do you know permission would not have been granted.

One of the clauses in the new bill says you only have to be annoying.
As pointed out, we’d never get permission with this ruling.

A man was in Westminster magistrates court for playing dominoes too loudly recently.

Which brings us to another clause in the new bill - if you're lucky enough that the police approve your protest you can still be arrested for making too much noise - either as an individual or as a group.

Anyone throwing around the unwashed leftie insults is effectively a supporter of this bill and should be ashamed of themselves.

Obviously no one knows anything for sure, but if you can’t see what this new bill stands for and the genuine concerns, that our fundamental right to protest will be seriously oppressed I suggest you read the bill, understand it and then make your own decision on whether we would have been allowed to protest.

Unfortunately with these types of protests they are almost always high jacked by anarchists, extreme socialist workers , the work shy and other members of the great unwashed . Not a good combination.

Don't think I've ever had my point proven so quickly.

Indeed, you reap what you sow.

This bill would probably not been necessary but for the increase in “annoyance” that the public have experienced in last couple of years with protests designed to prevent the public going about their normal business.

That’s not to mention the protests under lockdown which would again piss off a much greater proportion of the public.

The U.K. is not Burma, never has been, never will be.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Certainly very worrying that professional Old Etonian politicians like Boris Johnson and metropolitan elites like Pritti Patel are trying to limit the common man's free speech by deciding what can and cannot be protested against.

They'll be after strikes and picket lines next, mark my words.

Think they’re protesting about draconian measures being implemented to give police powers to stop peaceful protests

Edited for you

I don’t remember our seafront marches being hijacked by any of those ‘sorts’.

Or at least, that’s what the government, the police and certain facets of the media would have you believe in an attempt to discredit those protesting...

I’m clearly very lucky, in my 51 years apart from the Albion troubles, I’ve never felt the need to protest anything [emoji1745]

What do you mean?

 

[Albion Dan]

Was there any violence on our marches along the seafront?

It doesn’t matter if there was or wasn’t this new Bill would have given the Police the right to stop the Goldstone protests. It will give them the right to Wade in and stop any protest.

Read this. Up to TEN years in prison because they might think you have been an “annoyance” or a “nuisance” on a protest? WTF.

This is actually Orwellian society being ushered in on the sly, possibly the start of the biggest threat to our liberty since Hitler and the majority are so docile after a year of lapping up everything the Govt tell them that they aren’t even aware that they are about to lose one of their core human rights and are actually criticising people for trying to do something about it.

I say well done to all those that have actually taken the time to understand and taken to the streets to let this absolute shit show of government for sneaking this is in know this won’t be easy.

Kill the Bill!

I don’t remember our seafront marches being hijacked by any of those ‘sorts’.

Nor when groups of parents have got together to protest school funding or school kids to protest climate change.

Furthermore, I wonder what will be constituted as a "protest"? Pride, Love Parade and Glastonbury are all noisy and a *bit* political. I'm sure the bill will be very carefully worded to draw a clear and obvious distinction without any loopholes whatsoever, but parliamentary scrutiny does seem to be a bit lacking currently.

But it's not about if you have anything to protest about, it's about having the RIGHT to protest if you wish without your protest topic being vetted as acceptable by the police.

Wait till central Brighton becomes a traffic free zone

Why should it have to be granted or not? To protest has been our human right for well over a century and is one of the corner stones of democracy. It is something often cited as what makes our way of life better than communist dictatorships or facism. It is what people have literally lost their lives to achieve and protect.

Why should anyone protesting about anything have the risk of ten years in prison just because the Police ‘might’ think your protest is something the public find a nuisance? It’s outrageous.

I know we had our to-and-fro over covid legislation but this is exactly what I was worried about when the covid laws eroded our freedoms temporarily. This bunch of power mad opportunists nutters were never going to be able to give up their new found control.
