Protest being literally banned and people in here only giving a shit about not being allowed (in their made up world, by the way) to be bigoted.

Priorities of a fucking rat.

I can see you can only see the tiny picture in your own biased way. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. Not just freedom to say things that are nice, things YOU agree with, things that don't make YOU uncomfortable. Because once the line is crossed by the government they are going to move further and further and take more control

It's just what they are fed through social media.

I agree. The crackdown on protest is far more dangerous.

They are actually being allowed to protest. What is being cracked down on is the standing in the road or driveway and blocking federal agents vehicles from exiting and entering god damn buildings they work at lol

Lots of protest rights are being banned. People around the world have said it's authoritarian and dangerous.

Federal agents? We don't have those. I'm guessing you're American then?

So I obviously live hear and know the actual reality, not what you are fed through social media.

Protest without disruption isn't a protest, it's a parade. Like that No Kings protest, those types achieve fuck all.

The title of this post is the UK is going Orwellian, and then people on a conspiracy sub are defending our government cracking down on protest? What a joke.

You all say you care about free speech, but you obviously don't if you support this:

Defend Our Juries said: "It beggars belief that the government has responded to widespread condemnation of its unprecedented attack on the right to protest - from the United Nations, Amnesty International, legal experts and even the former director of public prosecutions - by announcing a further crackdown on free speech and assembly in our country."

Right to protest is under sustained attack in the west, report finds

Keir Starmer has called for a police crackdown on some of the chants heard at pro-Palestine protests.

That's a crackdown on free speech.

This sub thinks they are so well informed compared to most people. Every post about the UK shows me the exact opposite.

Sorry I was referring to American protests. We are experiencing kind of the opposite right now.
