Original Note:
In 2023, the UK government weakened basic freedoms, like people’s right to protest, with new legislation. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/01/11/uk-government-severely-eroded-human-rights-2023 Updated Public Order Act means police can stop a protest if they believe it could cause “more than minor disruption to the life of the community” https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/police-powers-ban-protest-laws-suella-braverman/
