"Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.
Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said."
Been a bad 18 months or so for privacy in the UK. Online Safety Bill passed, the right to take strike action curtailed, people in receipt of benefits (including disabled people) will soon (as from 2025) have their bank accounts open to the government, the right to protest curtailed and now this.
Well if they were conservative and cared about traditional values, they wouldnt have let in so many migrants.
What “traditional values” are you talking about?
We’re a nation of migrants; you don’t get to rewrite history because it makes you mad.
The first immigration law passed in this country was a process for naturalization; it doesn’t get more traditional than that.
The UK isn’t a nation of migrants, they are not America.
Someone tell the 1066 Normans they were actually born in England.
Oh, and the Romans.
Oh, and the Saxons.
Oh you mean the guys who literally invaded? I don’t think you’re helping your case.
Oh, I see.
You don’t care about the truth.
It all makes sense now.
So when you said the UK isn’t a nation of migrants you knew you were wrong?
Some people actually aren’t afraid of history, to the despair of conservatives worldwide.
Also, what a fun admission that Europeans invaded the Americas. I’m sure you’ll be logically consistent there.
Just to be clear on your logic, you think migrants are invaders, and that we should welcome them with open arms?
Well yeah, Europeans invaded America. Didn’t go well for the natives.
No, my logic is that we have a self-selecting population of highly motivated and ambitious people who want to be Americans.
To turn them away is foolish if you care about the economic and cultural wealth of the nation.
And you still haven’t clarified what “traditional values” are opposed to immigrants; even the fucking Romans welcomed people into their citizenry.
Oh, simple. Traditional values are things like basic human rights. Not oppressing women for example. Not hating the Jewish people. Not executing rape victims. Not executing gay people. Not executing people in general.
Have you met illegal immigrants?
Man i am this close to just blocking the reddthat instance. I dunno why but too many chuds and bad, bad fucking takes crawl out from under there
