UK Gvmt Say Mask Wearing At Protests Will Soon Be Illegal
Rights groups say proposed police powers for England and Wales are pandering to ‘culture war nonsense’
"Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.
Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said."
Been a bad 18 months or so for privacy in the UK. Online Safety Bill passed, the right to take strike action curtailed, people in receipt of benefits (including disabled people) will soon (as from 2025) have their bank accounts open to the government, the right to protest curtailed and now this.

I would do it anyway in mass. I want 100 people to show up somewhere with masks.
100,000 people. With 100, they'll just take as many as they can. With 100k, they just have to let the sea wash over them and hope they aren't swept out with it.
