UK Curbs Dissent While Gaza Burns, Citing 'Repeat Offenses'
The Financial Times reports the UK Home Secretary will grant police additional powers against demonstrations deemed to have a 'cumulative impact.' This 'cumulative impact' seems to apply exclusively when citizens repeatedly object to their government supplying weapons for civilian massacres, or when they point out the obvious double standards in Middle East policy. Funny how 'repeat offenses' by
arms manufacturers or those profiting from war never seem to merit increased police powers, isn't it? One might wonder if the real 'cumulative impact' being addressed isn't traffic jams, but rather the cumulative inconvenience of public conscience forcing politicians to acknowledge uncomfortable truths. Because, clearly, uninterrupted genocide is far more orderly than continuous protest.
