Dear John,

Our work is under threat

Do you remember when Best for Britain proudly stood shoulder to shoulder in Parliament Square with thousands of people, all of us protesting for a cause we believe in? 

While we didn’t see a second referendum on EU membership, at least our voices - and yours - were heard without obstruction. 

But now, with the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, our rights to protest are under threat.

Clause 59 of this bill will introduce legislation that will effectively make protesting in Parliament Square illegal, by introducing several logistical impediments that would make it impossible for us to stage demonstrations. 

Alongside peers, we have worked to table amendments to this clause of the Bill, which represents a subtle but dangerous attempt by the Government to deprive us of our freedoms. 

Will you show the Government that you oppose its creeping authoritarianism by signing our petition? By signing you will be affirming your belief that the right to protest in Parliament Square must be preserved.

Allow us, and organisations like ours, the chance to keep doing our vital work and holding this Government to account. Sign the petition today.

Best wishes,

Cary Mitchell,

Director of Operations, Best for Britain
