The Really Annoying Demo was held on the night of the third vote on the ‘Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill’ in the House of Lords. <br />
<br />
Home Secretary Priti Patel and the UK Government had proposed an extensive ‘Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill’ which would bring in new laws to curb peaceful protests and civil disobedience. The proposed new laws would bring in new powers for the police to arrest people for expressing dissent and new sentencing powers which could send peaceful protesters to prison for years. The House of Lords rejected many of the added amendments and most extreme parts of the proposed law and the bill was voted down a third time January 17 after huge debate and mass protesting across Britain. <br />
<br />
The bill was seeking to ban any annoying noise and the speakers and protesters made as much noise as possible, an act that could bring on a fine or prison sentence in the future if the bill had made it through.
