Demonstrators will no longer be able to use the right to protest as a reasonable excuse if they commit public order offences such as serious disruption.

The move is in direct response to the four protesters being cleared of criminal damage after toppling a statute of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol in 2022 . They successfully argued that they were exercising their rights to freedom of expression, thought and conscience.

Another new offence will make the possession of flares, fireworks and any other pyrotechnics at public processions and assemblies for protest illegal. Perpetrators may be forced to pay a 1,000 fine. It follows the use of flares and fireworks at protests against the Israel-Gaza war.

Ministers will also make climbing on war memorials a specific public order offence, carrying a three-month sentence and a 1,000 fine. There have been recent incidents during which individuals have broken away from large protests and scaled national monuments.

Even the police don't want these powers.

They recognise that they will lead to worse relations with the public.

It's the fucking Tories pandering to the kind of people who don't want to be inconvenienced by protesters blocking roads.

That article is from 2021. Is it even about this new law?

the saddest/funniest thing about uk politics is that everyone is happy to complain about the tories on a daily basis, but will then vote for them every election anyway.

"but other parties will tear this country apart!!"

you mean like how the current party in power has been doing for over a decade???

The Tories are the only significant right wing party. The centre/left vote is split between Labour/Lib Dems/SNP/Greens.

The Tories hadn't got more than 40% of the vote since 1992 until Johnson managed to exploit working class racism in the wake of Brexit. In 2005, they actually got fewer votes than Labour, but the fucking turncoat Lib Dems helped them out.

No charges necessary, that's just cleaning up garbage.

Shit, count it as volunteer work.
