Which rights are they curtailing and how are they doing it?

Laws that affect right to protest such as the one that's currently proceeding through parliament. Anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-trans columns in papers like Telegraph, Mail etc.

  Could you be more specific, maybe link to some examples?

    Search Google for the Right to Protest legislation Go read the stories about JKRowling and others view on trans people, and the editorials about it

      > Search Google for the Right to Protest legislation There is nothing in there as far as i can see specifically targeting leftist protestors, it seem to be written for any kind of protests, even non political. Are only leftist protests in the UK noisy, violent and disruptive? >Go read the stories about JKRowling and others view on trans people, and the editorials about it As far as I know she considers herself a feminist and a liberal and has actively supported feminist causes. I don't know what she has to do with the conservatives and I don't know which rights she is taking away from trans people or how can she even do that.

Right to Protest: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-crime-sentencing-and-courts-bill-2021-factsheets/police-crime-sentencing-and-courts-bill-2021-protest-powers-factsheet https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-crime-sent... We will no longer be allowed to exceed a certain noise level with protests. This is done at the same time that the government annouces a 'War on Woke'. I'd laugh at how blatant the hypocrisy is but having my civil rights eroded spoils the punchline.

  I think you'll find most grassroots conservatives agree with you on this. And so do most right wing commentators. It is only the government that is pushing this and it's crazy.

  That's a fair point; tbh I can't make any excuse for whatever they're trying to pull off with that; I've heard a lot of complaints about the UK govs approach to things; sounds like they're upsetting just about most people.
