We’ve brought Seamus in today to protect some our lovely display items - he’s clearly a ferociously terrifying guard dog 🙄

This is utterly disgraceful. I wonder if the nation will be as publicly outraged by this in the same way we would if it were any other protected group. Our best wishes go to those families that have had to deal with this.

It's shocking that this Irish Traveller family could go to prison for living on their own land, and we fully support Public Interest Law Centre.'s actions. We urge Brentwood Council to withdraw the women from their injunction, so 11 children can stay with their mums. pilc.org.uk/news/mums-coul…
