UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action.
The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

Heathrow is typical of the Government.
Makes inequality worse, evidence is biased by vested interests and it's terrible for the planet.
