UK protest rule (feddit.nl)
submitted 5 months ago by F04118F@feddit.nl to c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Context: in the UK, climate activists got 4-5 years in jail for planning a non-violent protest. The law that made this possible was literally written by the oil lobby: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/rishi-sunak-right-wing-think-tank-anti-protest-laws-policy-exchange/?ref=publicsquare.uk

Lots of people here in the UK welcoming authoritarianism when it allows the police and government to crack down on climate protests.
