What is it about non-violent protest that the govt fears so much that they have to raid a Quaker Meeting House? Again.
Perhaps having your complete loss of moral direction exposed is too uncomfortable.
Democracy dies without dissent.
Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. 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. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

Britain continues its rapid descent towards fascism.
Daily Express Nigel Farage is flying out to Donald Trump to save British base from 'loser' Starmer Farage is heading to Mar-a-Lago on Friday to reinforce the anti-Chagos deal message directly with Donald Trump, as the US president's open contempt for Sir Keir Starmer puts the controversial islands deal in serious jeopardy. The Reform UK leader revealed the dinner plans at Guido Fawkes' Save Chagos Boat Party, where he painted an increasingly optimistic picture of the campaign to kill the agreement. "President Trump has almost understood the deal, but I will be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and we will reinforce the message," he told the gathering. Farage pulled no punches in his assessment of the Mauritius agreement, calling it "the worst deal in history" and "an absolute betrayal." He urged supporters to keep up the pressure, saying: "We have got to keep fighting, we have got to keep the pressure up, we must not let our foot off this pedal, but for first time in this battle... this feels more than winnable."
His patriotism knows no bounds

And Labour expect us to vote for them!
No. Bloody. Chance!
I try to stay a bit onside sometimes with Labour - because they’re slightly better than Reform or Tories (although ARE they? No!) but I can’t.
No one in my family will vote Labour now.
“Senior military figures in the UK have told us we need to start thinking of ourselves not in a post-war state, but in a pre-war state“
Are we in the early days of WWIII?
BONDI SUBPOENAED! ⚖️🚨
The House Oversight Committee just served AG Pam Bondi over the Epstein cover-up. 48,000 files were scrubbed to protect Trump, but even Republicans are voting to force her to testify. The redactions didn’t work!

LUTNICK EXPOSED! 🤥⛓️
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he cut ties with Epstein in 2005. Emails and photos from 2012 and 2015 say otherwise. Now he’s heading to the hot seat to testify under oath. The net is widening!

“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”
President Donald Trump said he doesn’t want to negotiate an end to the war with Iran in a post on social media that demanded Tehran capitulate as US and Israeli airstrikes continue
The print press should always quote him exactly and TV should quote him exactly too, the way they do here:
the desperation of the RW press and some of our politicians and pundits to drag us into another disastrous war in the middle east really is something else.
Glasman is a Facist twat.
An lrsaeli fan boy.
A Cancer in the body of Labour.
Unsurprising that this rag promotes him.
Because nothing says “giving the British working class their dignity” like restoring a decadent imperial autocracy in the Middle East.
She is a constant reminder that X should be banned
She was interviewed by Christian Fraser a short time ago on BBC News - he put the result of the YouGov poll to her telling she was out of step with the public feeling.
Her response to that?
Apparently we don't understand the situation, if we did we would agree with her stance to bomb Iran🙄
Tories cut the defence budget during their 24 years stripping the country of its ability. Hypocrisy at its finest Kemi Badenoch.
quite apart from Kemi Badenoch's dismal performance on BBC Breakfast, minimising the work of the RAF, she spoke of Labour 'not being built' for conflict because they came into power to do things like 'breakfast clubs' in such a disparaging way, like feeding kids is a joke ambition
This reminds of that time she disparaged the Lib Dems as 'people who fix their local church roof...so people like them'.
Well duh, Kemi. People who are well-meaning and community-minded *do* tend to be popular. That's why everybody hates you.
Um, excuse me. We still have a whole work day ahead of us, Steve...
Nigel Farage once again doing anything but spending time in Clacton.
It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.
Weird or what?
Isn’t this about as far removed from reality as is possible?
War as third-rate entertainment.
God help America.
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
Slap in the face for the Daily Mail. Axel Springer owns Europe’s biggest paper, Bild, as well as Die Welt, Politico and Business Insider.
Not only does the latest polling put the Greens ahead of Labour for the first time in history, it also shows that of those who voted Labour in 2024, only 37% intend to do so now: an astonishing collapse. To appease the billionaire press, Starmer’s government has burnt its house down.
If you’re not worried, you maybe should be.
In addition to common decency. Leaving sailors to drown is outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
