Watching #PoliticsLive on this #PublicOrderBill, it is appalling

The commentator pictured in the below tweet is from the Heritage Foundation think tank. We are on a very dark path here on all fronts

The ambulance blocking line pulled out again as predictable

This is about predictive policing

On the anti-extremism prevent programme that our PM would like those who 'vilify Britain' to be referred to. With much history

Yet again linked with think tanks and both they and the program have much to cause a pause for thought. Here are more details

On the proactive policing under pre-existing PCSC Act here. It lead to overzealous enforcement

Journalists in cells for hours. DNA and prints taken. A law does not need intent to ban every protest, it just has to be vague, intimidate

Theresa May made vital points here, given the track record of our recent Home Secretaries and Justice Secretary

It partners ramping use of these private injunctions to ban protest from corporate legal teams. It is pertinent to plans for freeports

With yet more pertinent think tank links to aversion to groups who might protest climate issues

Which led me to this question

And this very heartfelt answer
