I no longer have any problem calling all 357 Tory MPs fascists because...
Fascism involves the forceful suppression of opposition and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM just voted for police to arrest protesters who shout too loudly. #PoliceCrackdownBill #PolicingBill
Tory MP David Davis said the #PoliceCrackdownBill "actually does pose a grave threat to the fundamental right of protest" then voted for it!
FASCIST!
@DavidDavisMP
Tory MP Jonathan Djanogly said the #PolicingBill would "reduce public safety" by encouraging the police to use force against peaceful protesters... THEN VOTED FOR IT!
FASCIST!
@JDjanogly
DUP MP Gavin Robinson said the #PoliceCrackdownBill "would make a dictator blush" then voted for it!
FASCIST!
@GRobinsonDUP
Then there's Steve Baker. He claims to be a champion of individual liberty.
He even PERSONALLY reassured me that he knew the #PolicingBill gives "far too much discretion to the police" and that the limitations on protest "should not be ignored".
THEN HE VOTED FOR IT!
FASCIST!
You know how my video made that Mr Burns joke about MPs calling the police on loud protesters outside Parliament?
Within 48hrs of voting to arrest peaceful protesters, Nadine Dorries asked police to arrest Steve Bray, mentioned in my video, for shouting from a distance.
FASCIST!
I made that video month ago!!
STOP PROVING ME RIGHT!
Tory MP Victoria Atkins argued that the police wouldn't use the powers often and that they would decide the acceptable noise levels for each protest based on THEIR perception of its legitimacy.
FASCIST!
