Right to protest?

Do we need that right? Or is it wasted?

Does protesting make a difference?

Is the government right to make it a criminal offence to protest?

Are we all happy that people should not protest about any issue at all.

This includes EDL marches.

Its not illegal to protest.

The issue is protesting in the right way. Glueing oneself to a tube train, or sitting down on a busy main road is too much of a disruptive protest.

These actions are already illegal.

The issues are around giving more power to the state and removing the legal right to protest peacefully.

I don't know the answers here but do believe people should have the legal right to peacefully protest.

We've seen it again yesterday, the was M32 closed and officers injured in London.

These acts are not helpful in the slightest and do nothing more than tell the government they are doing the right thing by bringing in tougher measures.

Lol, protest is protest. Fact is it gets no attention unless its disruptive.

Everyone has the right to protest be it EDL, Antifa, IRA, UDA. Its part of the values of the western world. Its a freedom of speech. Yeah we may not like it or agree with it bit its their right.

The government isn’t making it illegal to protest. They’re moving the goalposts to as to deal with small scale disruptive protest. I don’t necessarily agree with the police and crime bill as there are already provisions in law for disruptive protests (highway obstruction etc).

At the same time I feel that protest has become theatre and doesn’t achieve anything anyway. All it does is annoy the fuck out of people not interested in your cause.

Yes we do need the right, no it isn't wasted.

Yes it can make a difference.

No they are absolutely not right in giving the police powers to decide what level of protest is "annoying" enough to be illegal, as even an ex-Chief Constable has suggested. It is our democratic right to protest.

Nobody seems to mention that this bill is covid related that is the purpose for introducing it.

the other reason for this surely that protests get infiltrated with troublemaker and anarchists.

We must be the only country that allows this nonense we do not even use water cannon the world is laughing at us over this one

Peaceful protests can make a difference sometimes but I don't see them being banned. Causing obstruction, damage to property and violence are often the problems. Sadly the message of the protest gets lost when these things happen making them counter productive
