Andrew Neil on #bbcquestiontime says, "I would ban uniforms on demonstrations."
It has actually been illegal since 1936 to do this.
He goes on to say he hated it when Black Lives Matter wore balaclavas
Some BLM protesters choose to wear balaclavas or face coverings for practical reasons. These include protecting their anonymity from digital surveillance, guarding against tear gas, and maintaining personal privacy during public demonstrations.
Every second week, there were protests in central London. If you want to protest, I want to see your face as well. Bit of a non seq in his argument there.
He then goes on to say. "The last people you should be listening to is the Tories. They had an immigration pattern named after them: The Boris Wave. The fact of the matter is that by-election the end of the year, net migration will be 170,000, not a million."

@Geri@veganism.social I wonder if totally black attire with balaclavas might count as a uniform? Asking for Kent Police 🤨
