The Police Order, signed off by the local mayor, suggests that speeches by speakers including Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman could threaten “public safety, tranquility and peace”. The Order also cites the risk posed by participants articulating an “ethically conservative” vision, including “the defence of ‘national sovereignty’, which implies, among other things, an ‘Eurosceptic’ attitude”.

@SpeechUnion I am aware of what Farage has said in the past which would make him a target but what has Braverman said which has made the Fascists of the UK nervous?
@SpeechUnion The US is banning public protests for people who oppose conservatives.
@SpeechUnion If I were a devout Europhile I would be furious with the Mayor of Brussels for playing straight into the hands of those who for years claimed the EU was undemocratic.
@SpeechUnion He didn’t mention “hurt feelings” in the order?
@SpeechUnion @tlloydjones Our only hope
@SpeechUnion Can’t stand farage and his ilk but I’d like to hear what they have to say so we can challenge and ridicule their view of the world…silencing them doesn’t seem productive..
@SpeechUnion @Ironlungs26 Wow, the EU is now like North Korea!!! So grateful for Brexit!!!
@SpeechUnion I’m a Remainer but I think this is fascism!
@SpeechUnion It's an error to frame this just as a matter of freedom of speech rather than the wider context of a deliberate silencing and intimidation of political opposition.
