Are we having our right to protest taken away - forever - today?

The Police Crack down Bill.

When is it being voted on?

Is no one else worried?

It's terrifying :(

Nothing is forever in our unwritten constitution, you cannot bind a future parliament.

In any case, they aren't banning you from protesting. You can still shout a bit and wave placards about. They are banning things like criminal damage, gluing oneself to trains, blocking bridges etc. You know, the things which really endeared XR to the users of Canning Town station.

Naive. They are banning any protest they don't like, by giving the police elasticated powers. But they seem to have pulled the wool over a lot of folks' eyes, including yours.
