@porsupah as someone interested in knowing what's going on but with very little knowledge of UK politics, what is the pcscbill?

@Felthry It's a severe "tough on crime" smorgasbord. Highlights include putting protests under police control, and very broad powers to criminalise anyone who might even potentially be problematic to the police.

It also greatly increases stop & search powers, and trespass penalties, aimed at the GRT community.

(And in response to a slave trader's statue being dumped into Bristol harbor, that too would become punishable by up to 10 years in prison)
