The Policing Bill – going again through House of Lords Vote against the bill



The Policing Bill - going again through House of Lords Vote against the bill 
here: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/uk-government-reject-the-anti-social-behaviour-crime-and-policing-bill (thanks to Dave for the link) If enacted, this will give police the power to arrest you for almost anything (including the expression on your face) The last time this Bill went through the Lords, peers repeatedly quoted Lord Justice Sedley’s ruling in a 1997 high court case, when he declared: “Freedom to only speak inoffensively is not worth having.” http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2013-14/antisocialbehaviourcrimeandpolicingbill.html
