Stop The Gov Rushing Through New Anti Protest Policing and Sentencing Bill
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Home secretary plans to rush new anti protest laws that give police and the government more power over our civil rights. These new laws will expand police powers over right to protest, our freedoms of speech and right to question the actions of our government. This is an assault on our rights.
Please don't make it any easier for the UK government to take away our voices. Regardless of your political, civil or social views, this new legislation will affect us during lockdown and after. This petition is not about our individual opinions, but is the counter to the governments actions to try and further restrict our Rights of Freedoms. Please research 'The Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill' to gain a greater understanding of whats happening, please sign this petition, and share.
