A leaked government report reveals yet another attack on the right to protest; yet more plans to "monitor and disrupt" protests (as if the spycops scandal never happened); yet another conflation of protest with extremism and terrorism. We've expelled one draconian government and elected another.

In a recommendation that will concern activists, the report calls for the creation of a “dedicated national investigations capability” to “coordinate and take on protest and low-level extremism operations and investigations” and a digital “national centre of excellence for the monitoring and disruption of protest”.

The secret to enduring power is control. Doesn't much respect equity or morality

I feel like proportional representation might help. At least we’d get rid of this red vs blue alliance of neoliberalism and have some representation of alternatives.

Ironically, millennials seem to be hot on strong arm leadership . And like the forceful arm of the law .

Right, but that's just a report, it's not policy. Reports come out all the time with reccomendations, most of which aren't followed. I agree that if this is followed, it would be shocking erosion of civil liberties, but you're framing it like it's a done deal.

I feel there's a real problem with elections in our Western countries, and democracy in general. We vote in France and it makes no difference.

So protest can be - no one goes to work for a day. Shut the lot down. There will be a few who will, but many will not if the protest is well planned.

Labour pulled this same kind of nonsense during the Blair years. It was obvious this was coming, especially given Starmer’s track record as head of the crown prosecution service.

We need to all be actively campaigning to get Greens elected everywhere to all levels of government.

Fuck it, they cant jail us all. The sooner we all take to the streets, the sooner a brighter future will arrive. This is how society survives, instead of collapse. Climate justice is social justice.

Also, the vilification of protesters is disgusting. They are the people with enough energy behind them, enough chutzpah to get up and do something! What I really fear is that the govt gets enough of the rest of the non govt population to see protesters as the enemy. 😳

Oh my god A Real government would be allowing the protests, taking note of them, and trying to find ways to let their populace have active voices within government spaces, not treating us like an enemy

If their goal is to make capital thrive, maybe activism should embrace capital and use it for constructive purposes. They can't stop that without stopping themselves

Protest irrigates democracy. Without it, our freedoms shrivel and die.

I think they gave the plot away when they, as the opposition, said that they wouldn't reverse the changes the Tories made a few years ago that severely curbed your right to protest if you're loud or otherwise disturb others.
