I heard a podcast that mentioned her the other day. Her sister was equally impressive.

This sucks for me because Tommy was my 1st introduction into politics :grin:

Yeah £500 to stay indoors for 6 months doesn’t get the saliva flowing.

And there aren’t 68 million adults in the UK either.

Rock on Tommy.

Fuck the DR

Tommy’s a good lad at heart, I’m sure he’s been doing some stuff that I care little about lol… But his heart was in the right place campaigning for pollock and elsewhere, not many in that scheme tried to help the locals, his mum was active too.

There’s worse than Tommy about, my 1st introduction to politics was when he appeared in Argyle St with his socialist party stick, doing his thing, pretty funny and full of energy, made me look more at the shit the Government does.

Same, sorry if I came across rude there, it’s a pity there’s not more people with Tommy’s energy about, he made mistakes no doubt but helped in pollock & pollock juniors turning a lot of people my age off the streets, the kid done good. :v:

It’s obvious @marty that the Glasgow police force & the MET got their directions mixed up.

The’ve made moves to bring in more legislation wrt protests & with the 80 seat majority who’s gonna stop them, Kier?

On Tuesday, the Home Office published the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill. It covers a wide range of areas, from sentencing to digital information. But it has a specific section on the policing of protests. And the function of this section is simple: It aims to silence them. It is cancel culture on a statutory footing, directed against the left.

This is not a metaphor. It is the literal and explicit function of the legislation.

The policing bill does this by amending an old piece of legislation called the Public Order Act 1986. This older Act gave police officers powers which they have used against protestors ever since. If they believe that a demonstration risked “serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community”, they could impose restrictions on it – for instance on where it went, whether it moved or how many people could be

With the way the Brexit stuff is going it won’t be long, unfortunately. :pensive:
