IN RECENT years, we’ve witnessed a raft of legislation in Westminster which provides the legal basis for a new era of authoritarianism.
It’s no longer threatening to emerge — it’s here. The Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Act 2021; the Covert Human Intelligence Sources Act 2021 (more commonly referred to as the “spycops” Bill before it gained royal assent); the Nationality and Borders Act 2022; and the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 have been firmly criticised by legal scholars, the UN and various human rights NGOs for their violation of civil liberties.
Many will be reminded of the “Kill the Bill” protests that took place last year in opposition to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, a bona fide legislative assault on the right to protest.
