One more Liberty Lost

The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act will from the 2nd of August make it illegal to demonstrate outside the Houses of Parliament. What on earth this has to do with organised crime i don't know, other than the fact that if you criminalise demonstrations and then someone organises one it now becomes organised crime. I should point out that one can apply for the ability to protest, so if you ask nicely you might be allowed. I imagine there will be some sort of standardised form, i hope someone gets thousands of these and applys to demonstrate continuously to at very least drown whoever decides what is an allowable demonstration in paperwork.
