'protecting our democracy from coercion' - the walney / woodcock report

[Pickman's model]

rather than tag this on the existing woodcock thread i thought it deserved a thread of its own. the report can be downloaded from Independent review: Political violence and disruption. it's like the gobshite lord was asked for a reactionary wishlist and by god he's provided one. don't know if this government or the next will be left with this in its in-tray - my suspicion is the next, being as it's right up shammer's alley

democracy is so precious now that it must be protected against people who have opinions that are different to the opinions and policies of the government. Democracy is what lord sex texts says it is now.

 

[Pickman's model]

i note that margaret hodge, the paedos' friend, claims that there is a right to knock on people's doors. ‘Sorry, no one is in’: few are at home for Margaret Hodge’s ‘kleptocracy walking tour’. if she has that right then so do you and i. yet lord sex texts would have that right - the right of anyone in britain - curtailed for people who'd like to knock on the doors of councillors, members of parliament and peers. and those involved in the arms trade.
