PROTEST
The #PoliceCrackdown Bill gives police more powers to shut down protest, creates a buffer zone around Parliament, makes 'serious annoyance' punishable by 10 years in prison AND MORE.

unbelievably belligerent and unsafe behaviour from the police at #claphamcommon this evening.

sadly, i’ve been on enough protests to know what might happen. and i prepped for it. gave my boyfriend 3 emergency contacts for me. law firm’s number on my arm and in my bra. food, water, spare clothes, meds in my bag.
totally normal, rights-respecting country.
