The Tories secret police force just did this

Democracy my arse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the police undermine democracy in the UK:

1. Excessive Use of Force: Instances of police brutality and the disproportionate use of force, especially against peaceful protesters or minority communities, can erode public trust in law enforcement. Such actions can hinder individuals’ willingness to participate in democratic processes, such as protests and demonstrations, out of fear for their safety.
2. Suppression of Free Speech: The police have been criticised for their handling of protests and demonstrations, with allegations of stifling free speech and peaceful assembly. The use of kettling, mass arrests and aggressive tactics can deter individuals from exercising their democratic right to express dissenting opinions.
3. Undermining the Right to Privacy: Concerns about police surveillance, particularly the use of facial recognition technology and mass data collection, have raised issues related to privacy rights. Citizens may be less likely to engage in political activities if they believe their privacy is compromised, which can hinder democratic participation.
4. Racial Profiling and Discrimination: There have been claims of racial profiling and discriminatory practices by the police. When minority communities experience unfair treatment or harassment, it can lead to feelings of disenfranchisement and a lack of trust in the democratic process.
5. Lack of Accountability: Concerns about a lack of transparency and accountability within the police force, especially in cases of alleged misconduct or abuse of power, can undermine public confidence in the institutions that are meant to protect and serve. A perception that officers can act with impunity can erode trust in the democratic system.
6. Selective Enforcement: Some argue that the police may selectively enforce laws and regulations, disproportionately targeting certain groups or individuals based on their political beliefs or affiliations. This can create the perception that the police are being used to silence dissent and limit political opposition.
7. Infiltration of Political Movements: There have been historical instances of police infiltration into political and activist groups. Such actions can undermine the democratic right to associate freely and engage in political activities without government interference.
8. Erosion of Public Trust: Overall, when citizens perceive the police as unaccountable, biased, or acting against their interests, it can erode public trust in the institutions of democracy. A lack of trust in the police can lead to a broader lack of trust in the entire democratic system.

And now this!
