Bearing in mind hmg is just about to give away 17 billion to ‘poor’ people as they can’t afford fuel, fags, beer and sky tv I reckon it’s a tiny amount compared to that.
Oh and hmg stole 47 billion; almost forgot that one !!!

Not sure but the figure is what I’ve read.
If it’s as you say and I really believed the needy would benefit I would give it back. Sadly it’s the wants who would benefit so feck em. Beer and fags all the way

Suggestions of ignoring human rights law to push this through... you have to wonder to an extent whether this is just a stunt and a means to an ends for that, and along with it how the new 'UK Bill of Rights' how that will impact normal situations of protect and the like.

Look how eager the police are to 'politely' intimidate this protester using it (ignore that he's anti Brexit, it's irrelevant to the point and implications of the law)

If it's not going to impact protesting, why does he want a 'grown up coversation' about it.. and talk of crossing thresholds etc. The guy has a placard, he's hardly lookinf for ww3

Changes to human rights

Diminishing our right to protest

Internet censorship bill

Removing ministrial oversight for themselves

Taking over the electorial commission

I'm not even against these flights or clearly needing to do something in this area, but at the same time I think we should beware of stunts that may be used to push through other changes or get the public onside under false pretenses

I certainly don't disagree that there can be protest that disrupts to the extent that understeps the mark. I just wonder if being that one man with placards is someone who needs a 'polite word', how likely they are to clamp down on anything and everything that goes against the government line. Thew wording of this bill is vague enough to make it very subjective, which is always a worry and likely intentional.
