I was one of the 2 people arrested for wearing face coverings at Saturday's Palestine march.
These are political arrests by a British state in the shallows of fascism, and with even more oppressive laws on the horizon we all have a choice. 🧵

Today, Chris Packham is testifying at Isleworth Crown Court in support of Cressie, who is currently on trial for climbing on a gantry over the M25.

Before entering court today, Chris Packham spoke to the media:

“Because of Cressie, and other Just Stop Oil protesters, I sat…

Today I'm in court as a witness for the trial of Cressie Gethin, a Just Stop Oil activist who scaled an M25 gantry in 2022.

I sat sweating on the M25 that day. Was I inconvenienced? Well, I wasn’t drowning in a flood, displaced by famine, or forced to become a climate refugee...

NEW: In an Isleworth Crown Court hearing re. Just Stop Oil protester Cressida Gethin just now, Judge Duncan ruled that there's no 'reasonable excuse' to causing 'public nuisance' under the PSCS Act, & that she cannot argue it was 'necessary' due to the scale of the climate crisis

❌ Just Stop Oil will not enter into any “debates” about agreed climate science.

The glitter protest at Labour Conference yesterday was carried out by new group People Demand Democracy

They are entirely right that our political system is leading us to disaster, and it's difficult to argue with their demands

More power to them

We're at Labour conference asking MPs to revoke Rosebank and back a Green New Deal.

We are scared for our futures and want answers from political leaders.

So it's disappointing when Shadow Ministers like Thangam Debbonaire refuse to stop and speak to young people.

Want to find out more about People Demand Democracy and how to work towards upgrading the political system? Join our zoom call on October 20th at 7pm!

Just Stop Oil HonkForPeace Keir Starmer Momentum 🌹 Green New Deal Rising People Demand Democracy I’m in the arena and we cheered for this protestor and we’re told to shutup by security

We need a jury duty type assembly to monitor and hold politicians accountable, this is more akin to actual democracy as it was intended. We can't just vote once every 5 years and let them ravage the country

Glitter with intent
