There is something very wrong in this country when six young people meeting to discuss politics in a Quaker Meeting House are arrested by the police after a mass (twenty officers) invasion of the building (armed with tasers).

The freedom to protest, or even the freedom to meet in a room to discuss current affairs, are central to a democracy... if this freedom is now compromised (further), as it seems to be, we are in a very bad place!

@ChrisMayLA6 @Thebratdragon Have you looked at the world recently? We are in a very, very, very bad place.

The COVID debacle made it embarrassing to be human.... but 2025 has made me ashamed to be human.

Oh yes, I'm under no illusions - we are in a very dark (and getting darker) place
