This causes a vast amount of pressure on police presence and is a huge factor on public money paying to keep counter protests peaceful. There can be violent behaviour, so it needs to stop.","additional_details":"The time has come to put an end to counter protests as they can be unruly and violent. The police are under a lot of pressure to police these counter protests, so they should be banned from happening at the same town or city as any protests happening. People need to be able to attend protests peacefully without counter protesters, some of who act violently or irrationally, by bullying and violently harassing the protesters or speakers. We need to stop this bullying!","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":31,"closing_date":"2027-01-31","created_at":"2026-07-04T07:51:26.368Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T13:50:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-31T09:19:06.600Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-04T09:26:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Emma Cully","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"HO","name":"Home Office","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":31}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Blackburn","ons_code":"E14001102","mp":"Mr Adnan Hussain MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Blackpool South","ons_code":"E14001105","mp":"Chris Webb MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bridgwater","ons_code":"E14001126","mp":"Sir Ashley Fox MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Buckingham and Bletchley","ons_code":"E14001141","mp":"Callum Anderson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Carlisle","ons_code":"E14001152","mp":"Ms Julie Minns MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Clacton","ons_code":"E14001174","mp":null,"signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon South","ons_code":"E14001187","mp":"Rt Hon Chris Philp MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Didcot and Wantage","ons_code":"E14001197","mp":"Olly Glover MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Doncaster North","ons_code":"E14001200","mp":"Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dover and Deal","ons_code":"E14001202","mp":"Mike Tapp MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Thanet","ons_code":"E14001216","mp":"Ms Polly Billington MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Erith and Thamesmead","ons_code":"E14001229","mp":"Ms Abena Oppong-Asare MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Fareham and Waterlooville","ons_code":"E14001233","mp":"Rt Hon Suella Braverman KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gravesham","ons_code":"E14001254","mp":"Dr Lauren Sullivan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hazel Grove","ons_code":"E14001277","mp":"Lisa Smart MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Huntingdon","ons_code":"E14001298","mp":"Ben Obese-Jecty MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kenilworth and Southam","ons_code":"E14001309","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Wright KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001359","mp":"Blake Stephenson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001392","mp":"Alex Brewer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Norfolk","ons_code":"E14001405","mp":"James Wild MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Oldham East and Saddleworth","ons_code":"E14001415","mp":"Debbie Abrahams MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Romsey and Southampton North","ons_code":"E14001449","mp":"Rt Hon Caroline Nokes MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southampton Test","ons_code":"E14001500","mp":"Satvir Kaur MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southend West and Leigh","ons_code":"E14001502","mp":"David Burton-Sampson MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Staffordshire Moorlands","ons_code":"E14001514","mp":"Rt Hon Dame Karen Bradley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Yeovil","ons_code":"E14001603","mp":"Adam Dance MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wrexham","ons_code":"W07000111","mp":"Andrew Ranger MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":6},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":6},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":3},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":10},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
