Juggling With EggsWill historians look back and wonder why the police focused their efforts on Quaker Meeting Houses and never Tufton Street or the private clubs of Mayfair?
"We cannot get into a situation where groups planning criminal acts can escape police action simply by booking rooms in certain venues”
Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman
I refer you to my previous point.

Gentleman’s clubs have actually been belatedly acknowledged as crime scenes. Chris Pincher’s sexual assaults at the Carlton Club brought down the Tory government, but no criminal proceedings.
Former Tory MP, Patrick Spencer also allegedly carried out sexual assaults at the Groucho club…but we’re still waiting for justice to be served and he still sits in Parliament.
Does the Met serve the interests of gay and female victims of crime?
Most recent update I could find on last night’s arrests for conspiracy to shoplift at a Quaker Meeting House:
https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/03/06/quaker-meeting-raided-by-metropolitan-police/
“Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.
That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government.”
Oliver Robertson, #Quakers in Britain
The comments from Oliver Robertson, who is head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, suggests that these arrests for ‘preemptive crimes’ were politically motivated.
#Starmer ‘s #Labour government has decided the lesson to take away from their Gorton and Denton by-election trouncing to the #Green Party is to double down and make out there is suddenly a dangerous, extreme far Left in this country.
No, there are just honest, morally motivated and concerned people sick of Labour.

This is what we are seeing in Germany. Anyone with a moral compass is now painted a leftist extremist. All it does is give the far right more fuel. Can’t recommend.

I have no problem with being described as a Lefty, progressive, activist, even woke I’ll take…but the tone in the past week has changed dramatically in the UK with the Green Party being described as extremist.
And this is entirely because Labour have taken progressive voters for granted for too long…plus they now realise they’ve largely lost the Muslim vote, which again they took as a given. The notion that Green’s gaining their support is ‘sectarian’ spread rapidly.
zbrown@JugglingWithEggs @samy I love how they are so obsessed with getting the ‘youth vote’ right up to expanding the electorate to generate more ‘youth vote’ (16-17yos) meanwhile polling has u-25s going Green at 50% or more and they've decided to call them all enemies of the state or smth.
I just… I mean …make it make sense?

this is nothing new with labour, here's Crosland,
Foreign Secretary for the Calaghan Labour government from 1976- 1977 describing how they'd deal with the rise of the SNP which had started taking Labour safe seats.

javensbukan@samy @JugglingWithEggs Right? Guess I'm a commie now because I don't want school children buried under rubble or entire cities levelled. 🤷♂️
Jna💚@JugglingWithEggs Strange politics of labour to alienate a large proportion of their own voters and possible voters while trying to attract an imaginary tranche of voters with a quite racist treatment of asylum seekers and immigrants that will continue to alienate a proportion of their voters.......
sleepfreeparent@jna @JugglingWithEggs this is the behaviour of a party that has been bought and owned by the ruling class. They don't care about or bother to try to understand the ruled
