What the petition asks
The Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill 2021 is not reflective of democracy or it's processes. Specifically, our right to assemble has always been key in our culture of politics. Removing our rights on these matters is immoral and further destroys our exemplified political standards.
Our rights to assemble, protest, gather and march in order to make a statement of disproval over our government's actions, or those of any body or bodies, must be protected by law. Not removed by them. They must not be constrained or controlled.
