Recent years have seen a rise in 'disruptive' protest tactics used by groups like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, including slow marching on highways and gluing themselves to infrastructure. The Public Order Act 2023 gave police new powers to arrest protesters for 'locking on' or causing 'serious disruption.' Proponents argue these laws are necessary to stop a minority from holding the country hostage and blocking emergency vehicles. Opponents argue that defining 'disruption' is too vague and effectively criminalizes the fundamental democratic right to protest.
