NEW: POLICING BILL DELAYED. After days of action led by @sistersuncut, the policing bill, which critics say will undermine the right to protest in the UK has been delayed following 'unexpected backlash'. bill now not expected to come back to the commons until summer.
Priti Patel wouldn’t even be in her position if it were not for women participating in the kind of protests she is banning and that is the saddest irony of all
Today's Police Bill is a form of state intimidation.
It's designed to stop people from organising & attending protests
Instead of addressing underlying injustices, the government is seeking to criminalise those speaking out.
My speech today against the #PoliceCrackdownBill
EVERY WOMAN in the UK should be speaking up against this Bill. We all got the right to vote as a result of years of protest by courageous women 100+ yrs ago. Don't take anything for granted. Stand up before it's too late #PoliceCrackdownBill#RightToProtest#ReclaimTheseStreets
Think about it, so many of the rights/freedoms we have today came as a result of protest, mostly peaceful protest. That's what this govt is trying to stop. With an 80 seat majority & a silenced population, they are pretty much free to do whatever they want to us #RightToProtest
you can now be basically locked up for being GRT, homeless or a "nuisance". every liberal who fought Labour in 2019 and said Jeremy Corbyn was the real 'threat to freedom', you can own this one
The #PolicingBill does more to protect statues of dead slavers than living women.
It criminalises Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.
It takes away some of the few means we have to challenge establishment power.
We must resist it.
Man when you find out this "date" happened like 5-6 years ago and Piers Morgan has been married for over 10 years it takes the harassment to a whole new level
This isn’t just a case of “haha what a shit politician” she is actively trying to build fascism and dictatorship in the UK and put herself at the head of it. In any civilised country we would call this criminal. Did the last 100 years account for nothing?
Priti Patel is trying to amend laws so that you can’t protest against her unless she pre-approves the protest. Do you know how SCARYYYY and dangerous that woman is
Piers Morgan just walked off the Good Morning Britain set (!!!) after co-presenter Alex Beresford defended Harry and Meghan and condemned Piers' treatment of them in yesterday's programming
piers morgan saying he “doesn’t believe” meghan having suicidal thoughts during itvs “get talking” campaign literally says it all. Meghan might not see what he said but thousands of people watching at home who may be feeling the same will and that’s so damaging
