Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House
Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.
🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

I was surprised and concerned earlier to realise that we had had a fault on our double oven that had reset itself while not losing heat!
12 minutes later I realised that it had not reset itself at all, the clock was merely showing Midnight and I (as usual) had no idea what time it was... Oh dear!

So they will be teaching kids to love everyone, renounce materialism, care for anyone in need and welcome strangers?
Also that the poor will be made rich and the powerful will be cast down? Cool!
