All protests also have to have a submitted risk assessment to the local council otherwise it is deemed unlawful and fines/arrests are issued if you don't disperse. Can't even protest as an individual in any official capacity without one.
Welcome to the land of bureaucracy.
Legal requirement in the UK to wear a mask indoors at least
Depends on the culture where you are. In the UK it's really a culture of you get on with things in life even if you don't agree with them, and in social contexts where many people are likely to challenge you for not wearing a mask (and get arrested or forced out of shops in some cases) then it might help give people the confidence needed to stand up for their beliefs
Brexit Party are in the process of rebranding to Reform UK and are fielding candidates in all elections next year (local, police and crime commissioner, London mayor etc). Focus on abolishing the upper house, tackling immigration, ending state funding of BBC and reducing taxes among many other things.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock is even worse, he wrote the other day about how important the fourth industrial revolution is and I think he's even openly admitted he's a fan of Schwab's work
And this man is a key part of the Covid response
UKIP pretty much died once Farage left to form the Brexit Party (now Reform UK). Think UKIP still get the odd local councillor occasionally but it doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things anymore.
Good job we don't have electronic voting
The new strain is a real thing, but I'm pretty confident even the government is saying it's become less lethal than flu, which is typical of viruses anyways. It's also already in Italy, Australia and a few other countries.
(Edit: Just found out Brazil discovered the same strain 8 months ago. Not that new after all)
Apart from the singles chart thing which I have no idea on, everything else is pretty accurate.
(EDIT: It's number 2 on iTunes UK: https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-kunts-boris-johnson-is-a-fucking-ct-is-in-the-running-to-be-uk-christmas-number-one-2844307)
Support in the ruling party from backbenchers and from public for Boris is pretty much at rock-bottom, especially as the original Christmas rules were voted on by Parliament, and the Government scrapped it completely after sending MPs home for Christmas.
General public seems to be of the mindset of a) they are powerless to do anything because government has set the precedent that they can just do what they like without any influence of other elected officials, or b) are incredibly vocal, protesting and revolting because all of their policies are contradictory.
The Brexit deadline is fast approaching. If Boris sells the UK out and gives us a bad deal then I'm pretty sure that will be the absolute last straw as it breaks his biggest election promise.
They will certainly not be elected again for a very long time, that's for sure.
This is probably part of the problem. I imagine given more time a few more senators would've realised some of the awful things in it but sadly not
And Mitt Romney...
So much of the polling is wildly unrepresentative though, especially with somewhere like YouGov, who only poll registered members of their site. Its no wonder different polls from 'credible' sources are having contradictory outcomes...
Neither ordinary people nor elected officials got a say in this. They waited until MPs went on Christmas break then introduced the new measures without any debate in Parliament, breaking the agreement in the Covid emergency bill. Members of the party aren't even allowed to criticise the lockdown measures within the Party's official channels.
No impact assessment, no accountability from any elected official. The "opposition" party won't even turn up on occasions where we do get a vote.
So much for democracy.
Malloch-Brown seems to have some sort of affinity to Prince Andrew (and by connection Epstein/Maxwell), as evidenced by him defending Andrew in light of the allegations: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1363163/Prince-Andrew-vows-end-friendship-billionaire-paedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein.html
If Lin Wood's recent tweet is anything to go by (about the Epstein case being quiet), maybe we can hope for a more concrete link soon
This. Once people have found out about the fraud, they're not going to just forget about it.
Slowly putting out information, getting more and more people to spread it via word of mouth means more and more normies can get on board ready for if more drastic action must be taken.
