> In a statement on the Thanet PSPO, the Free Speech Union said: “This is the worst one we have seen.

> “This order would apply to the entire built-up area around the Thanet coastline, and is a draconian measure, which would restrict the freedom of expression of 130,000 residents plus the roughly four million tourists who visit Thanet each year.

> “People within the area covered can now be fined or even face a criminal conviction for ‘causing a disturbance to others’ or being ‘pejorative’ in public, among other things.

> “It effectively imposes a strict liability speech offence, with none of the safeguards which Parliament and the courts have deemed necessary when restricting people’s fundamental rights and liberties.”
