A leaked government report reveals yet another attack on the right to protest; yet more plans to "monitor and disrupt" protests (as if the spycops scandal never happened); yet another conflation of protest with extremism and terrorism.

We've expelled one draconian government and elected another.

1. Perhaps Prevent failed to pick up on the danger signs from Axel Rudakubana partly because, in common with other anti-terrorist and anti-extremist bodies, it was politically captured and deployed against peaceful protesters and peaceful Muslims. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Who are the real extremists? The people challenging injustices or those trying to shut down our rights? | George Monbiot

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement:
Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect?
Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

One of the forms of hybrid warfare Russia is developing to use in Western nations is cyber-attacks to disable sewerage systems, flooding the rivers with shit. How, in the UK, would we detect them?
