Good way to backtrack when you're reminded that video recordings are a form of free speech
I have no trust for the Tories.
Where lying is concerned they are persistent offenders.
They will abuse this undoubtedly.
Its all about dissent I reckon.
Terrorism is the go-to excuse as usual and, you know, its all for our own good. Rot.
This isn't good at all. They'll be labelling all sorts of things as extremist.
what other explanation can there be?
This is the worst idea ever for the average UK citizen and it will be used to shut down the voice of dissent as all totalitarian policies are used for.

What I don't understand is why the Tories are considering this. We've got a struggling NHS and people worrying about immigration. There's a great problem of unemployment for people 18-24 and a few million people who aren't skilled for the modern employment markets. We've got zero hours contracts where householders have to wait for a phonecall to say if they've got work today. Shops and pubs have been closing down for years and not being replaced.
My point here is government has more than enough to be getting on with. Real things that matter to the people of this country. Priorities.

If you don't want to read something online then don't go online.
Free speech on the internet should not be restricted. This is a terrible idea.
I sense Alot of people will be dressing up as Citizen V if this happens.
