O/T Which jab have you had?

Judging by the antics at recent "demonstrations" the Police Bill is well overdue.

So you are happy to have any aspect of the right to protest taken away from you? So for example, if the 'establishment' (lol) had denied Brexit, you would be happy that you wouldn't be able to demonstrate to show your public anger, along with others, at such a decision?

What did you think of the poll tax when that was introduced? Was it fair or were you pleased that people took to the streets to demonstrate and led to it being scrapped?

(I agree that the Bristol rioters are playing right into the hands of the Tories in forcing this bill through btw)

And the Extinction Rebellion mob that blocked the major London roads so that ambulances couldn't get through to the hospitals

Etc etc etc

Gone beyond peaceful demonstrations

Yes there is a small chance if dying, as there is a small chance you might meet with a fatal accident or mugging going to the vaccination centre.

The odds are roughly the same

For younger people the chance of dying with Covid is only slightly higher than of getting blood clots from the Astra vaccine though, that's why they're suspending it.

Here's the stats:

I think this post neatly demonstrates part of the issue with the Bristol protests. I'm guessing that you (like most of the protestors, I suspect) haven't bothered to read the bill before commenting upon it?

The bill doesn't propose taking away 'any aspect of the right to protest'. It lowers the threshold at which the police can impose conditions upon public assemblies.

At the moment, the power to impose conditions is restricted to situations where there is a 'reasonable belief' that an assembly may result in serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community

The proposal is that the threshold be lowered to allow condistions to be imposed if there is a 'reasonable belief' that the noise generated by persons taking part in the procession may result in serious disruption to the activities of an organisation which are carried on in the vicinity of the procession, or it may result in the intimidation or harassment of persons of reasonable firmness with the characteristics of persons likely to be in the vicinity, or it may cause such persons to suffer serious unease, alarm or distress.

I think that any restriction upon the right to protest must be carefully scrutinised and not entered into lightly, but it would help if the debate were not fuelled by ignorance and 'kill the bill' rhetoric.

You're welcome.

Can’t see what any of this has to do with what Covid jab you have had.
Can the Mods move all the political crap to the correct place please.
