Britain will introduce a new criminal offence banning protests outside the homes of elected officials, judges and local councillors
Class warfare is alive and well in the UK, the wealthy continue to oppress through state violence while they outlaw peaceful protest. If you outlaw the peaceful way that just leaves the other thing.
That’s why they spent decades running the “war on terror” angle. To make the working class believe violence against oppressors is never justified.
Meanwhile the government has a monopoly on violence, and uses it whenever the political class, oligarchs, or corporations are threatened.
“Why does it seem like the ones who have everything have nothing inside?”
Because all of their self-worth is derived from being served by others.
Once you take away their servants, they have nothing to offer and they know it.
It’s always the people in power who say the time for violence is over.
Nevermind how they got that power. Don’t think about that.
So all the protests will now have to be held inside?
Inside your own house, yes. As long as it’s quiet.
UK, do you have to keep proving that the US came from you?
How close qualifies as outside their home, anyway?
Also: what counts as “protesting”?
if I had to guess? 200 miles, at least (CBP range in USA from borders*)
The fuck is this? V for Vendetta?
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
So you want people to protest inside the homes of public officials, got it.
Airstrip One, right on schedule.
Nationality does not apply to snowflakes.
England is rapidly becoming the reason why every nation mocks them.
You need a loicense for that.
This is actually good.
I don’t believe politicians that you disagree with should be threatened.
You make a fine subject.
what do you mean threatened? do you not believe politicians should be held accountable?
