Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government has renewed its attempts to stop so-called “guerrilla protests” by groups like Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, and Black Lives Matter, and has threatened to make it a criminal offence for people to glue themselves to buildings or bollards.
Attempts to update the law on public order offences had to be dropped from the Police, Crime, Sentencing, and Courts Bill in the previous Parliament after it was blocked by the House of Lords.
