Le comédien britannique et l'activiste politique, marque Thomas, ont fait rigide un avertissement à la conférence annuelle de l'union de GMB à Brighton, la semaine dernière, au sujet d'une loi britannique draconienne interdisant des protestations en dehors du Parlement sans permission antérieure de police.
L'interdiction existe dans la moitié par rayon de mille de la Chambre des Communes qui endommage sévèrement des droits civiques au Royaume-Uni, auquel le gouvernement a outrepassé les droits de l'homme agissent qu'a été censé garantir la liberté de la parole. The legislation came into effect back in August 1, 2005 and signalled the ushering in of a British police state.
The law means anyone gathering to demonstrate within the designated area is committing a criminal offence. Many campaigners, including Brian Haw, expect the ban radius to grow over time and eventually outlaw all forms of protest against government policies in the UK.
“I even had to get permission to wear a red nose in Parliament Square on Red Nose Day. The police are having an internal debate about this law because it’s just not worth it,” said Mark Thomas.
“The effect of these laws is to curtail our rights. They are having a chilling effect on campaigning and activism.”
