it/s mental there tonight
anarchy in the Uk .......
There's a rave going on in the middle of the protest!
Feel like the country's going to be a powder keg this summer
This country is becoming increasingly and worryingly right-wing.
For about 44 minutes it's just people standing around looking at a police station. Some reports of pepper spray being used and graffiti on a police van but otherwise just a crowd of people. Then a police van gets set on fire but even after that it appears that the vast majority just want to witness the event.
Surprisingly, no looting reported as yet. With non-essential shops shut there must be a large pent-up demand for expensive trainers surely.
So lets get this right. They were protesting about having the right to peacefully protest 😀
Look more like a load of lefty student crusty types don’t they?
BBC News - What is the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and how will it change protests?

Thatcher stopping picketing
But letting the police charge horses into miners at Orgreave
Then the BBC showing miners fighting with police and throwing missiles , then being dispersed by police
When it was the miners who were attacked by the police on horseback and then the miners fought back
The Battle Of Orgreave is a very interesting watch
the legislation seems very rushed and Ill thought through.
potentially 10 years in prison for damaging a statue?
police can decide when protests begin and end and can arrest and fine people if they are too noisy.
there an a real danger that these new powers will be completely abused.
we should embrace our right to protest, like the French do
I have mixed views about the new bill.
However this sort of protest will only help the Government in putting its proposals through. Any Tory MP's who are lukewearm towards the new proposals are likely to look on them more favourably if this sort of nonsense goes on.
The country is to a degree getting more polarised towards left or right, but the vast majority of the country are still more moderate I believe.
Interesting how the police are happy to release cctv for this, but that guy that died in custody in Cardiff they won't release the cctc as it "might prejudice enquiries"
No he's not. Every protest ends with scruffy rent a mob follow like sheep student types causing scenes..
Nothing against protests but these just go for a day out follow the crowd lot don't actually help the cause.
I have worked with some of students and have heard it from them that they care little of the protest and in their words its just something to do.
So, just to be clear, you have an in depth knowledge of every protest, and the case isn't that you've seen this and maybe one or two others that you don't like the aims of (gonna take a wild punt at...ooooh...maybe Extinction Rebellion and BLM) and now you're making sweeping angry generalisations as is fairly common with men of a certain vintage
Anyone who supports the government removing our right to protest is an absolute mug.
When i see footage like that knob battering the police van windscreen, and the ones setting it on fire, i’d love to see the cops steam in and smash the ****ers.
But we are in the middle of a bloody pandemic man. People that protest have already been proven to be unable to social distance or wear masks and not to give a hoot about their own or other peoples safety. I would support the Government in locking people in their houses to stop them going out or prison if they gather unlawfully, if it meant getting rid of the virus and ending lockdown.
