JaeMy 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)
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

The Met Police are following government direction. The current Labour Party are authoritarian and no longer represent working people let alone democratic socialists

Jones Murphy@Christo_459 @considermycat thankfully Reform will do a better job of representing working people.
Biggles 20X6!@jonesmurphy @Christo_459 @considermycat hahahaha
'Nazis will be better for working people somehow' is one hell of a take.
@Taco_lad @Christo_459 @considermycat working people in Britain certainly think so. They are the backbone of Reform's support. It's a parallel situation here in the USA. Trump and Republicans(Nazis) won the working class here in 2024.
@jonesmurphy @Christo_459 @considermycat yup, it's how they get in.
Nazis: "shit sucks, so elect us and we'll punch down instead of up. We'll kick the puppies and lick the boots."
Poor, disenfranchised and undereducated people: "That sounds great because I can't understand it's rich cunts ruining my world and the only place I can personally perceive using power is against people worse off than me"
@Taco_lad @Christo_459 @considermycat what you write is not generally true. It's specifically Nazi people who support Nazis. Poor people are very divided. It's the worst bigots who support Nazis, NOT the least educated.
@jonesmurphy @Christo_459 @considermycat The overlap between bigotry and the uneducated is historically very high in the Eurocentric colonialist countries.
Uneducated & poor is even more highly correlated with conservative/populist voting. (it's likely not to hold across indigenous or historically enslaved populations though)
There's even a study on how less education is correlated to conservative voting, spanning decades of data and done both in the UK and Australia.
It's also how the original Nazis got in. They promised the downtrodden and disenfranchised a way out, and once in power, ground those same supporters up in a war fighting for ideals they'd never benefit from.
@Taco_lad @Christo_459 @considermycat indigenous American populations vote more like white Americans than like blacks. The person replacing Kristi Noem is a Federally registerd Cherokee from Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin. The only other Federally registered Native American, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, also left the Democratic Party to become a Republican. There's a LOT of white supremacism among indigenous Americans. Blacks stand alone in degree of opposition to Nazism.
@Taco_lad @Christo_459 @considermycat the least educated blacks vote more strongly against Nazism than the most educated non-blacks. Education is a minor factor compared with race and racist attitudes.
@jonesmurphy @Christo_459 @considermycat Indigenous people in Australia consistently vote against Nazis unless they consume too much Murdoch media (which holds true for all demographics).
Unfortunately in both Australia and the UK, the Black/Blak voting population is very small - (thanks to racism/genocide).
Recently white supremacy was absolutely unacceptable to voice here, but that has changed over the last few years.
