If you are not sure whether we are living in a Facist regime, read the latest bill that gives the Police powers to curb any protest if the deem it to be “unsafe”! The Tories are gradually eroding all of our human rights, that we enjoyed from being a member of the EU. It is bad enough that people of “colour” are randomly stopped and hassled by a Police force that is becoming more like their counterparts in the US now we all face the increasing removal of our freedom!
I would never condone the type of protesting we have recently experienced but the right to peacefully protest over what you believe is an injustice, is a fundamental freedom, that we in the a democratic country have enjoyed for a very long time. Naturally there will always be an element of unrest or opposition to any protest. We know there are always factions who wish to take advantage and disrupt or cause violence and the Police have laws which allow them to arrest troublemakers. How the hell do you decide if a protest is “unsafe” surely any protest has an element of being unsafe!
We only have to endure this Conservative governing for another year and then they can and will be voted out of office. It must happen because we can’t go on like this. You may not relish the prospect of a Labour government but under our present voting system they are the only alternative and sadly we have come to a point where anything is better than what we have.
At the last election 70% of the votes were not for the Tories, which sadly demonstrates how our first pass the post system is outmoded and not fit for purpose!
Stay well
