Wow.
French police "at war with vermin" as rioting spreads across country".
French policing unions APN and UNSA also called the rioters "savage hordes".
A reminder that large numbers of the protesters are from ethnic minorities.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. He *literally* contradicts himself from one sentence to the next. GPLB:
"Lord Coaker (Lab) told peers that [it] was “a shocking betrayal of our unwritten constitution”. But he defended Labour’s decision not to vote for the Jones amendment, [because] it would respect the convention that the Lords does not block secondary legislation. (The Lords is a revising chamber; secondary legislation cannot be revised.)
#FFS #Labour #UKPolitics #FatalMotion #RightToProtest

Any of you who care about your civil liberties and right to protest, and have a Labour MP, I urge you to contact them about their egregious failure to protect us from this proto-Fascist, authoritarian government. I just have.

Reply to Wes Streeting from Steve Peers, Professor of Human Rights Law:
"The fatal motion would NOT have blocked [HoC]. It would have blocked the *executive* from adopting *secondary* legislation that *overturns* what Parliament has already voted against. The result of Labour's abstention is a further restriction of protest rights."

This statement from Wes Streeting is FACTUALLY INCORRECT (via Twitter)
"An unelected House of Lords can’t block an elected House of Commons. If you don’t want Tory laws to go through Parliament elect a Labour government."

Seriously, seriously, FUCK LABOUR. They abstained at the vote on Jenny Jones' fatal motion last night, just so they don't get bad press for impeding the government.
The good news is Liberty are raising a legal challenge to Braverman's attempt to override democracy.
#RightToProtest #UKPolitics #Labour #FuckTheTories

Something else that's getting ABSOLUTELY NO COVERAGE TODAY: Dame Jenny Jones' fatal motion in the Lords yesterday has failed. Braverman is set to sign into law provisions REJECTED BY PARLIAMENT, which she has NO POWER TO CREATE, on protest restrictions. (source Liberty via Twitter)

Can someone explain why Starmer instructed Labour Lords to abstain in Jenny Jones's 'fatal motion' debate this evening, letting through the Public Order Act, 154 to 68?

This drastically reduces our right to protest, enabling police & gov't to redefine 'serious disruption' as anything causing ‘more than a minor interference’ to daily activity.

Now, when there's more to protest against than ever, our rights have been taken away.

L'activisme n'est pas un crime !

Partout en Europe l'activisme est criminalisé, ça suffit !

Après la politique migratoire, la droite s'attaque à la politique climatique.

Nous devons faire barrage à ces reculs démocratiques!

Interesting interview in today's FT with Graham Smith of Republic:
"Anti-monarchist Graham Smith: The British royals are ‘tax-funded Kardashians’
Head of the campaign group Republic on why the monarchy should be abolished and the government’s protest laws revoked"

@Greenseer Also, with regard to the march itself, it could be said to be a point at which the populace at large (not those naturally predisposed to do so) "gave up" on direct action, which on some level I can understand. If 50 million people marching around the world on the same day can't change the course of events, what can? Not an opinion I subscribe to myself, as I'm sure you're aware.

Extract from an email sent by Graham Smith of Republic:
"Our arrests have been covered around the world and by all UK media outlets. It has been noted by a lot of observers that Charles has remained silent and has not made any effort to defend our values and liberties.

***Republic has also seen a huge influx of members, supporters and donations."*** 👊👊🥳

I know the received wisdom (for numerous excellent reasons) is Tory = bad, but am I the only one who thought Tom Tugendhat was one of the few half-decent ones? Until he said protesting is bad for the economy and turned out to be a desperate authoritarian grifter like the rest of them.
I'm not saying I actively liked him or anything, but he did seem vaguely human. Wrong again, Mia.

Update on "you can't protest in France then come here, mate" ...

@Geri CND has also been publicising this and will be taking part.

It's not just us that can't protest - if you took part in a protest IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, you risk being arrested when you come here.

How is it even possible that 128 people can be arrested for protesting about animal safety, yet 98.4% of sexual assaults DON'T EVEN GET TO COURT.
