(ITV) A range of measures have been proposed to crackdown on what has been described as the UK’s “growing problem with extreme protest movements that use political violence, intimidation, incitement, law breaking, and disruption.”
Lord Walney set out 41 recommendations for the government in a 292-page report, which include making organisers pay towards policing and a review of undercover surveillance of activist groups.
Other measures include a blanket ban on face coverings at protests and allowing those impacted by disruptive demonstrations to claim compensation from organisers.
The peer also had recommendations for how police should deal with incels, blasphemy, and chants of jihad.
