My Quaker meeting house has been raided by the police, again. The Met have arrested 12 activists at a publicly advertised Take Back Power meeting at Westminster Quaker Meeting House. Apparently more arrests have taken place outside of people who arrived late. (Source: various WhatsApp chats I’m in)

The request, in true Quaker fashion, is to hold all those arrested in the light 🕯️

This is clearly now the police looking to intimidate Quakers into not allowing protest groups to meet on their premises – part of the Home Office’s overall goal of intimidating and legislating peaceful protest out of existence

This is the event the police raided this evening. This is the type of event they now consider illegal to organise in Britain, and which they want to intimidate religious and community spaces out of hosting

What is, I'm not laughing, what is the horror the police forces are preventing?

Seriously can anyone cite the offence?

Oh my, this is the Magna Carta country, the fight them on the beaches land.

Starmer's party isnt interested in returning to power.

Direct action, that's what.

It can be genuinely effective, you see. Can't have that.
