Still a part of me wanted to believe that Police Scotland would go softly on this plainly draconian proscription.
Sadly, if this article is correct, they are actively trying to find ways to increase its scope and criminalise as much activism as possible.

Inevitable that US/UK trade deal will be disastrous for the UK.
