    The police and army do not protect the lives and freedom of individuals and they never have. They exist to create the conditions for business to do business. The law barely cares if you rape and murder some poor, powerless individual. But cause a big business some serious property damage? Oh no we can’t have that. Time to make an example of you.

    Huh, up to 10 years for disruptive protest? Looks like it’s only 8 years for a planned arson as long as you don’t hurt anyone.

    I wonder if they understand what they’re encouraging by making the punishment for protests harsher than the punishments for direct action…not that that’s any of my business…

    Oh those damn Conservatives, such things would never happen under the rule of the Labour Party.

    Right?

      Hey good thing is people are not as numb to the class warfare nowadays as before so your coy attempt to make this partisan isn’t as effective.

        Ah, yes. Thank you for reiterating my point by using instead of sarcasm the always very funny false accusation method.

          At least my iteration can’t be mistaken unlike yours (Your sarcasm was too thin to notice for me)

    Kinda relevant: from the latest Private Eye. Just a little insight to the background of the people pushing for this outcome.

    The Heritage Foundation who would have guessed it would be in the mix.
