Letter writing and petitions it is then.... 22:15 - May 2 with 2651 viewsBanksterDebtSlave

Official warning letters have been sent to anti-monarchists planning peaceful protests at King Charles III’s coronation saying that new criminal offences to prevent disruption have been rushed into law.

Using tactics described by lawyers as “intimidatory”, the Home Office’s Police Powers Unit wrote to the campaign group Republic saying new powers had been brought forward to prevent “disruption at major sporting and cultural events”.

The new law, given royal assent by Charles on Tuesday, means that from Wednesday:

Protesters who block roads, airports and railways could face 12 months behind bars.

Anyone locking on to others, objects or buildings could go to prison for six months and face an unlimited fine.

Police will be able to head off disruption by stopping and searching protesters if they suspect they are setting out to cause chaos.

“I would be grateful if you could publicise and forward this letter to your members who are likely to be affected by these legislative changes,” says the Home Office letter, which lists the creation of a number of new criminal offences under the government’s much criticised public order bill.

The thing was that she was awarded extra above the so called maximum and we didn't know we had applied for it. Still don't know if it is a bigger loan or part loan part grant. (11+k rather than 9+k)

The one we were thinking of is a ‘top up’ to the accommodation grant, normally £4.5k but can get up to £9k, but I think you have to prove a household income reduction of 15% causing your claim so we’ll just claim the usual.

Ah yes, the government elected on a mandate to 'protect free speech'(for bigots and bootlickers).

An unemployed family of foreigners who are harbouring someone suspected of sexual offences, at that.

Slightly ironic that the Security Minister, who is so critical of China, is defending these laws.

Argh, you had to spoil it. No one's supposed to mention the child abusing bro this week. Or um, how they made a large chunk of their wealth from slavery, or um, all the stolen antiquities or the um, racism etc.

You couldn't make it up!

This from the Guardian.

"Tugendhat suggests Public Order Act will help economic growth, because it will reduce disruption

Rishi Sunak has set five priorities for his government, of which three — halving inflation, getting the economy growing, and reducing debt — relate to the economy.

Law and order is not normally seen as part of economic policy. But in his Today interview this morning Tom Tugendhat, the security minister, suggested the Public Order Act, which gives the police new powers to stop protesters, was part of the government’s growth strategy."

That man is an idiot, and I should know, having seen him at close quarters from the very start of his political career.

Don't be so cynical DJR, this is clearly just a chance for the UK to showcase its liberty . Is there really anybody left in the UK gullible enough to actually believe this bollix?

I see Tugendhat is getting some plaudits for reluctantly admitting that the people being trafficked across the channel aren't acting illegally. Being forced into admitting the truth about asylum seekers shouldn't be news, but this certainly should be. It's as sinister a fook.

They work for themselves

https://www.theguardian.com/po

The latter joining Scott Benton MP in pocketing money for representing gambling, not his constituents. How many others in the Tory Party are doing the same ? Working as well paid lobbyists, often promoting businesses against wishes of their constituents.

They are paid because numpties put them into a position of trust, with access to the legislative. And what is the bleat from many ? The way to deal with this is to remove direct accountability !

Whereas in reality, they should be stopped from taking money from outside interests, as with other civil servants, especially the police.

We would then see who is really in it for voters. There to help others rather than help themselves

Though cynics might suggest, the Tories would then struggle to find prospective candidates once that door to corruption was closed.

He is meant to be a One Nation Tory but, in his desperation to further his political career, I have never seen him put his head above the parapet on anything that a true One Nation Tory should.

By way of example, despite being a Remainer, he did not once join any of the cross-party pro-Remain activities in his constituency because he was terrified of offending the Brexiteers in his local party.

As regards his most recent admission, it sounds like it only came about because he was too dim to cope with Kay Burley.

But did you know, he was in the army?

"...........evidence that an alleged Russian spy was attempting to cultivate influence with senior Conservative politicians"

A quick google of "Tory party, Russian money" will bring up loads of articles outlining how much the Tory Party has received, and since the Russians invansion of Ukraine.

The real question is not whether they have been taking money, but what has been given in return.

The Bloaters support for the Russian invasion of Crimea is obvious, as is his joining Russian support for brexit - but what else?
