More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza.

It is thought to be the first time in the history of the famously Β­pacifist Quakers that police have forced their way into one of their places of worship.

I know the right wing media finds it all very difficult so, in an attempt to be helpful, this is what an actual interference with free speech looks like.

Another big insult to countries, like the UK, who did exactly this and fought and died alongside the US after 9/11

To say thank you, I'll be giving away a 2024 General Election poster to one winner who reposts this (and is following) in the next 24 hours!

Best of luck :)

It was a thread on my normal football message board that got me here. And v. happy to be here I am. The same thread contains a football starter pack with a couple of hundred options.
