No we didn't look the other way.
Please take a look at this collection of extraordinary ordinary people's testimonies who protested at parliament, who took daily abuse from the Far Right and stood up to a government lurching to the extreme Right.

We’ve all had the fantasy, right? About what we'd do if politicians here attacked democracy, seized dictatorial powers and introduced special laws against minorities? How brave and noble we are in these dreams! Now it happens, and we clear our throats and look the other way.

'It gives me sleepless nights Nick.'

Blaming the government for 'the Brexit they chose', @LizWebsterLD says the only solution to food rations is getting back into the single market and the customs union 'as quickly as possible'.

@BestForBritain This is not what a democracy looks and sounds like.

@ElspethElspeth @ShelaghFogarty @LBC @Protest4E Take a look at our website @LBC @ShelaghFogarty and tell me how it is right thar what we were doing could now be classed as criminal activty https://t.co/pJwFlTDhtD

[Veggie PorkPie @RemainingKind]

#Protest is a cornerstone of democracy @LBC. Without the right to peaceful protest we have NO democracy. It’s as simple as that. Democracy is so much more than putting a cross in a box. If no one listens, how do we make our voices heard. We cannot just be silenced.

March 2019 was an intense month outside UK parliament when we didn't Brexit.
I love this photo of @suehard on College Green with placards behind MPs who fought hard to stop Brexit @peterkyle and @ChukaUmunna talking with Steve Bray @snb19692 and some togs.

My investigation into how Evgeny Lebedev became a House of Lords member, against security services advice, shows his father is a Kremlin agent and offered to act as a backchannel between Boris and Putin over the Skripal poisonings. Producer: @gemmanewby.

With thanks to our very own @Peter68328517 outside @10DowningStreet again today. #JohnsonMustResign

[Police Bill Alliance @PoliceBillAll]

That is the end of Part 3 on protest. All votes we wished to be won have been won.

Of course many clauses are still in the #PolicingBill, and it is still a terrible piece of draft legislation. But it is less bad than it could have been, and so that is a small victory.

Government just defeated by 95 in House of Lords on its sinister move to ban “noisy” protests

[4th July - Tory wipe Out @snb19692]

History being made here tonight at the House of Lords. We can all be heard in the chambers as they debate and vote. #FascistToriesOut

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

This bill is being hammered by the Lords. And quite right too. It’s a genuine threat to our liberties

[Liberty @libertyhq]

ANOTHER HUGE VICTORY

House of Lords has voted against new powers for suspicionless-less protest stop and search.

It can't be put back in the #PolicingBill

[HS2 Rebellion @Hs2Rebellion]

Well done the House of Lords 👏👏

The key thing to do now is to write to your MP (or Local Conservative Association)...

... tell them that by not removing Johnson immediately, they are putting their party before their country. They're avoiding doing the right thing by the UK, to protect their own.

[Police Bill Alliance @PoliceBillAll]

Remember, if Peers vote down the new govt amendments on locking on, stop and search, or protest orders, then MPs can’t put them back in. That’s because those amendments have only ever existed in the Lords — they weren’t in the draft passed by the Commons.
