I READ with interest that our MP, Chris Loder, is opposed to cancel culture. His commitment to free expression would be more convincing if he were also to oppose the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which undermines the long held British right to peaceful protest.

It even limits protest by a single individual - who could be any one of us. I wonder why this democratically elected government is so unconfident that it is scared of public outcry over its policies, such as the recent modern colonial injustice of the Windrush scandal.

In berating Oxford students for their choice of décor, Mr Loder suggests they are well off, out of touch and living in a fantasy world on the backs of the working population.

Was he perhaps basing this uncharitable description on his exposure to Boris Johnson (and much of the rest of the Cabinet) who drafted this dreadful legislation?
