Extremely worrying.

As somebody who has been on more than my fair share of protests, marches and demonstrations; most of which the government of the time would have liked to have seen squashed, I cannot believe the apathy of the general public to this diminishing and authoritarian control being imposed on their right to protest by the Home Secretary.

Finally nails the lie of all that "Johnson is a libertarian" bollocks.

Quite, but fair do's - the Blair/Brown Labour government also tried to stamp on legitimate protest. (I too have been on a fair few.)

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I'm not trying to defend the tories (heaven forbid!), just pointing out that they are not alone.
