This petition was submitted during the 2020-2024 Conservative government

Rejected petition The Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill 2021 must be removed completely.

The Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill 2021 is not reflective of democracy or it's processes. Specifically, our right to assemble has always been key in our culture of politics. Removing our rights on these matters is immoral and further destroys our exemplified political standards.

More details

Our rights to assemble, protest, gather and march in order to make a statement of disproval over our government's actions, or those of any body or bodies, must be protected by law. Not removed by them. They must not be constrained or controlled.
