When justice falters, the last refuge of the common citizen crumbles. With courts facing systemic decay and corruption, we pray to Shanidev, the Universal Judge, to intervene and restore faith in justice. Discipline must prevail. 🙏 #JusticeForAll #RestoreTrust

It's my annual opportunity to thank the #RestoreTrust campaign for reminding us who *NOT* to vote for in the #NationalTrust AGM.

The 'quick vote' helps; but you might also want to look at the appointing bodies to add organisations like the #BumblebeeTrust and #Plantlife instead of accepting the defaults.

It's that time of year again when National Trust members need to vote for council membership to avoid the attack from the far right 'Restore Trust' (yeah right). RT want to take us back to an uncritical, non-diverse, forelock-tugging verison of history. There's a quick vote to support the National Trust's top choice candidates. If you wish to select your own candidates, here are the Restore Trust ones to AVOID: Gibbs, Goldman, Jenkins, Kerr, Omrani and Streeter.

" And the Eurosceptic MP Bill Cash, who... rose from his coffin of moist earth and rats to wonder, utterly nonsensically, if the National Trust will “stop selling Madeira cake because of historical events in Madeira”.

@ProfLouiseL
Let's hope the #RestoreTrust candidates relay this very clear message to their compatriots and financial backers.
"You're neither needed nor wanted"
The gap between the votes for the lowest of the elected #NationalTrust council members and the highest #RestoreTrust challenger was nearly 30,000 votes.
