Remember when they would arrest people who criticized the monarchy after the queen of england died in the UK? Someone even got arrested for holding an empty sign because they feared that something bad could be written on it in the future.
It’s a free country, as long as you’re a conservative.
Uh, no?
There’s no queen of England, there hasn’t been for hundreds of years.
I’m shocked! You mean to tell me that the country that will throw you in jail for a tasteless facebook post doesn’t support free speech, the right to assemble, or the right to protest? Who’da thunk it?
Perhaps they would like to borrow the French guillotine for some time.
Maybe the French should conquer them again and give them the guillotines.
Macron sucks though.
We don’t need to eat macaroni if you don’t like it.

DoubtAlso, while reading this, or any article, it’s always good to mentally substitute “the economy” for “the wealthy” or “the rich and powerful”
The Conservative government says the laws prevent extremist activists from hurting the
wealthy
and disrupting daily lifeIt’s kinda hard to agree with your point on the economy, given that one of the key drivers of the Brexit vote with pure apathy for the British economy and its reliance on funneling money through the financial sector.
While you’re not wrong, a lot of people voted on the belief that it didn’t matter if the economy went to shit, because “things are already shit”. Now, the poor are even poorer, and the damage will likely last generations.
My sympathy for a literal peasant class in 2020 is limited.
Ask France what to do if you’re solution oriented, British progressives, otherwise gl “reforming” your way out of a hereditary ruling class with veto power.

Blocking roads, and stopping ordinary people from going about their day, is a very ill thought out way to protest. It doesn’t affect the people making the decisions, it merely punishes the least powerful members of society.
And it will inevitably turn the public against you, as we see here.
