This is an attack on freedom of speech and a stifling of information that is in the public interest.

All forms of peaceful protest MUST be preserved in order to avoid violence; also when like organisations unite in a protest it is because a greater number believe that the protest is necessary

Charities and campaigning groups are ultra-valuable and should not be censored of their input. Ordinary citizens must have a voice too, which these groups represent.

This is a direct attack on democratic organisation's ability to put their case in the face of corporate lobbying.

These groups need to keep the people informed of what's going on the Government wouldn't tell us until they had passed these bills secretly even though the Tories have no Mandate to Govern the U.k. AT THIS MOMENT .These groups need to keep the people informed of everything that's wrong hidden or acted on by M.P.'s who have no real knowledge of what it's like to be poor etc.They have massive pay expenses which they still abuse even now .The way this country is goeverned needs to change people are starting to have enough of it.Why do Charities and Campaigning groups need to be silenced yes they actually they tell the truth this Government is corrupt and doesn't want people to know how bad they are they have put us in deeper debt than Labour ever did they have Destroyed the NHS the Police Armed forces Fireman you name it and they waste millions that we are never told about Eg Benefit reform which won't work.And they have the death's of over 11,000 suicide victims which they don't care about and now hide the truth from the people now how many more will die .How do politicians live with themselves it is a disgrace.Freedom of speach should never be taken away It informs the people Why does this Government want to stop.In past generation's they fought for freedom including freedom speach don't let this act go through we are ment to be a democracy vote for Lord Harries Amendments to the Bill

Keep up the pressure, we cannot afford to allow our freedom of speech and democratic rights to hold our political representatives to account

Why is this becoming a global phenomenon where the ordinary responsible gun owners are penalised for the actions of those who will always be armed no matter what laws are in place?

Democracy depends on free speech, political parties represent a minority of the population, charities and other organisations represent the views of most of us
