I don’t know if this is 100% strictly privacy related but I think it does fall in the sphere of protecting one’s right to express oneself privately.

"Government officials have drawn up deeply controversial proposals to broaden the definition of extremism to include anyone who “undermines” the country’s institutions and its values, according to documents seen by the Observer.

The new definition, prepared by civil servants working for cabinet minister Michael Gove, is fiercely opposed by a cohort of officials who fear legitimate groups and individuals will be branded extremists.

The proposals have provoked a furious response from civil rights groups with some warning it risks “criminalising dissent”, and would significantly suppress freedom of expression."

    The day after the 5th of November. Nothing bad ever happens when you suppress the freedom of speech and the right to protest.

      Remember, remember!
      The fifth of November,
      The Gunpowder treason and plot;
      I know of no reason
      Why the Gunpowder treason
      Should ever be forgot!
      Guy Fawkes and his companions
      Did the scheme contrive,
      To blow the King and Parliament
      All up alive.
      Threescore barrels, laid below,
      To prove old England's overthrow.
      But, by God's providence, him they catch,
      With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
      A stick and a stake
      For King James's sake!
      If you won't give me one,
      I'll take two,
      The better for me,
      And the worse for you.
      A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
      A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
      A pint of beer to wash it down,
      And a jolly good fire to burn him.
      Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
      Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
      Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
