the one that allows people to get arrested for "locking on" Oh you mean the Public Order Bill Act 2023. Which you assert was not opposed by Labour but which was unarguably created and legislated entirely by the Conservatives. That bill. Righto. Just an experiment, the one who I thought would bite didn't. That's twice now Isn't it standard practice for labour members to vote against tory policy and vice versa? |

Please take your trouser belt off before leaving home....
And before anyone says that would is a rediculous statement - why arrest (agreed to and supported by the local council) night time helpers who are giving vulnerable people rape alarms.
Given that the intelligence was specific about the threat of rape alarms being thrown at the parade horses, one would have thought that anyone with a modicum of common sense might decide it was not a good idea on Friday night, even if they were handed out by people in hi-vis tabards.  Protesters would never think of impersonating such volunteers would they? I presume the police also arrested any shopkeeper or on-line delivery driver within a 25 mile radius that were selling/delivering rape alarms. |

Protesters would never think of impersonating such volunteers would they? Bona fide members of the rape crisis group would presumably, have some identification that could be checked, by any officer with a modicum of common sense. Our society and rights to protest are being worn away by knee jerk right wing reactions. There is undue influence on the independence of OUR police force by the home office and the tories. |

That is for the 3rd and final reading before it went to the Lords (the Lords amendments were defeated).
You will notice no Labour MPs voted for the Act, in fact the only people who did so were Cons.
Labour did opose the bill! |
