That hundreds of people of my age are being arrested for gathering to protest their opinion, but without indulging in overtly disruptive conduct, probably means that in the rush to be seen 'do something' the politicians involved haven't thought this through very well.

Wonder if they'll have sufficient nous to realise their mistake.

Friend who has been holding a vigil for Palestine event in Dunoon every Saturday for the last year and a half, was arrested pn Saturday, kept in police cells till today, when he's been taken to be charged. He's 73 and has health issues.  He's as dangerous as a kitten.

I've written again to my local labour mp, politely asking if the leaderships aim is to alienate every group of voters that supported Labour at the last election. If, by any chance, it isn't  some kind of strategy then wtf are they playing at?
I have never, ever felt so angry with a Labour government.  LOST MY VOTE.
Hate the belief, love the believer.

I think the free suits, glasses, and wife's underwear being paid for, along with the complete lack of thought about it, made me more angry. And they had lost my vote by their unwillingness to protect women's rights previously. But I feel your pain.

The notion that it is acceptable to criminalise mainly elderly and otherwise law-abiding people just because they wish to protest against patent genocide is perverse politics in the extreme.

I've never voted Labour, and I never will now.

It's been a cumulative thing for me. There's all the above but also toadying to Trump, Winter Fuel Payments, disability payments, and doing as little as possible to stop Netanyahu. This is no Labour Government.

I think this underestimates the issues a bit. While it notes that the police are in individual cases seemingly struggling with thd enforcement it doesn',t really address that this could affect the police becoming pissed off with being politicised
