"Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.

Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said."

Been a bad 18 months or so for privacy in the UK. Online Safety Bill passed, the right to take strike action curtailed, people in receipt of benefits (including disabled people) will soon (as from 2025) have their bank accounts open to the government, the right to protest curtailed and now this.

    Kids are not coerced in to being gay any more than geese are

    Lobbying sucks

    We are just ignoring the litany of false accusation and arrests of innocent people forced into modern legal slave labor?

    Better hope you never piss off the wrong cop or can afford a good personally retained lawyer if you do
