The Tories introduced laws that criminalised protest to deal with the disorder they knew their policies would cause — and Labour’s refusal to repeal these laws indicates their interest in protecting that status quo.
My first guess was that you were referring to climate change. Doesn’t make much difference. They’re both problems which the government does not have the power to solve by itself, but nonetheless could do a much better job of responding to.
Governmental policies can have some impact on climate change though. If we were to suddenly start up the drills for oil again, that would have an impact, right?
Why would you want to go on a protest about something the government can’t even do anything about anyway?
Right, because you forsee no reason that you’d ever want to protest the government.
Just because you don’t agree with this instance of protesting, you think cracking down on protest in general is ok?
No, I’m referring to the protest in the image. That we literally can do nothing about.
It’s a relevant protest topic in the US, but not here.
