The government’s Public Order Bill is set to lay waste to the right to protest in the UK. Home Secretary Suella Braverman took time out from her busy schedule of fantasising about deporting people to Rwanda and being publicly owned by Yvette Cooper to explain why she thinks the bill is necessary.
“These selfish protesters take up thousands of hours of police resource.”

‘Blocking motorways and slow-walking in our roads, these selfish protesters take up thousands of hours of police resource.’
While that sounds like satire, it lacked a certain something – and Rosie Holt stepped up to show how to do it properly.
MP warns against the dangers of “slow walking” protesters.

So much police time is wasted on slow-walking, trying to overtake the slow-walking with quicker walking, trying to walk towards the slow-walking with more slow-walking to counter-balance the slow-walking.
If only Suella had put it that way, we’d all have understood.
A vital message to us all from a really important MP. https://t.co/lbf8EmVbFf

As someone who is 6′ 8″, I support this initiative, or having walking speed lanes on pavements, or banning people below a certain height from walking in public, or forcing them to have leg extensions…
