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
@considermycat Quakers are not easily intimidated when it comes to their pacifist beliefs.
