👇 Thought provoking thread on the implications of #PCSCBill and the potential chilling effects....

A test case for the #RightToProtest under the new legislative restrictions of the #PCSCBill

🧵 This is a fascinating example of a City of London Police officer threatening to invoke the fresh new powers of the #PCSCBill (as enacted the 'Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act'). Lets take a look at what those powers are and why this act should be repealed! 1/x

/ Clearly this behaviour does not just meet the bar set by 'Public Nusiance' in the #PCSCBill but blows it out of the water, yet it was not invoked. The wishy washy definition allows that this bill will be used exactly as we see at start of thread, to protect the state's 8/x

Most likely by jailing homeless people.

#PCSCBill

I’m a big fan of Jenny Jones. Have been since I started watching her speeches on the #PCSCBill before it became law.

She doesn’t use “politician speak” - just says it like it is.

#PCSCBill violates the human right to protest by criminalising dissent

Don't sign this blank-cheque Bill with 'clauses to be defined later'

This vile thing is partly a reworking of the worst stuff that got kicked out of the #PCSCBill in terms of the anti-protest bits

🌻LillyinWick George Monbiot ⚓️Count Melancholia They were fucked over by the #PCSCbill weren't they?

moiramac Mrs Gee 💚🇵🇸🍉 Keir Starmer Jenny Jones I see Jenny Jones opposing the worse excesses of this government in the Lords. Notably, the #PCSCBill and the #PublicOrderBill .

Catherine Love. #CorbynWasRight #PeaceAndJustice @DaVinciHiFi Kate Hampton If you're protesting against the #GazaHolocaust 🇵🇸, they label you 'Extremist'/'Terrorist', then they can do what they like with you, because you're an 'Outlaw', e.g. #Guantanamo !

organisemagazine.org.uk/2021/10/03/the… This article I wrote for Organise way back in 2021 just emerged in my Facebook feed! It's on the #PCSCBill and everything at the time we knew was wrong with it, and of course its also about the police. #WeCopWatch

Caroline Lucas Remember Starmer whipped to Abatain in CHIS, PCSCBill - He supports this.

Today police gain new suspicion-less S&S powers. We raised concerns during #PCSCBill warning they could lead to inc. targeting of young Black men. #CaseyReview called for a 'fundamental reset' of S&S, so we join the demand for these new #SVRO powers to be halted. Liberty

The SoS must only *seek* scientific advice, not evidence. Remember this is the government that has passed 'lie detector tests' polygraph conditions, into recent legislation. #SnakeOil Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 #PCSCBill against all quality 'scientific' advice.
