GBC Manchester will have legal observers today in Liverpool for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign write the important numbers on your arms (on below bustcard) before you attend. Remember the 5 key messages: No comment Under what power No personal details No duty solicitor No caution #protest

This officer from Merseyside Police on two separate occasions doesn’t wear collar numbers, won’t give them when asked!! Netpol (account inactive) #protest
