Because we live in a fascist police state. The state, has now effectively criminalised protest. "“The public shouldn’t have their daily lives ruined by so called ‘eco-warriors’ causing disruption and wasting millions of pounds of taxpayer money,” Home Secretary Suella Braverman said in a statement on Tuesday. " Don't we spend 6 million a day housing immigrants? Plus 50+ million quid financing this pantomime? "The law also means that the police will be empowered to stop and search protesters “for items like padlocks, superglue and digging tools if they suspect they are setting out to cause chaos,” it added. Individuals found with such items and who intend on using them will also face criminal charges, it said. " In other words, you could potentially face 6 months in jail or a criminal conviction for carrying a padlock... Other elements of this bill, if I remember correctly, are very vague notions of causing a public nuisance, such as 'making noise'. As a side show, it's interesting to note how much plastic has been wasted on bunting, flags and other crap. I guess the environment matters when it's fashionable and you can stick it on your instagram?

The bill seems to be aimed at protesters who are interfering with the lives of others, or destroyin property. Of course, free speech rights in the UK do not enjoy the same protected status that they do in the US.

Cause England doesn't believe in freedom of speech

It’s not banning protesting it’s banning disruption of public events.

. I guess they want to make abortion indisputable.

Why does UK introduced a bill that limits a right to protest?
