Milestones

We want the Government to repeal section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 because we believe it is being abused on a daily basis when people gather together to protest in peace against certain things that are going on in our country today

We need to get rid of section 14. We feel it is being abused on a daily basis to stop us protesting against things that are happening in this country that we do not agree with. We think section 14 can be used as a weapon by the police to stop our protest and our freedom and God-given birth-right to peacefully protest against something that we think is injustice, and this is the case for the Metropolitan police & all police throughout the United Kingdom.
