Fuck, is this the Tories’ anti protest law in action? This is shit!
Can not see the whole article. There must be more to this as no court would deny bail over this
The parallels with what happened when they tried to silence the suffragettes are astounding
Embarassing a Conservative government is one of the most severe things any person can do, apparently.
Presumably, if you don’t perpetrate criminal damage, you won’t be arrested for criminal damage.
Some poor cunt will have to scrape that shit off the wall too, and it won’t be a government official or oil executive. Selfish.
Edit: the faux moral outrage – tories bad wahhh – over someone getting arrested for committing a crime and then being denied bail because they had previously breached bail conditions, is fucking hilarious.
Some of the comments here are interesting.
Getting ‘Dont Look Up’ feelings from looking at comments under any climate related news coverage recently.
Wait someone who pasted scientific papers to a building can’t get bail, but police are letting off rapists if they say sorry. What the actual fuck
If we needed any more evidence the tories were total walkers. Honestly mental. Hope she’s doing okay.
Lol. Don’t want to be held responsible for your actions, don’t do the crime! These rejects have been pandeyed to and protected by the police for far too long.
It’s worrying how many people here seem to think charging her with ‘criminal damage’ is not a political act. It seems ‘law abiding’ people will be the death of us all; more concerned with jailing people for creating civic inconvenience than staunching the lethal flow of petrodollars.
From this comment section, the only upside I see is that, after a climatic apocalypse, it’s good to know there will be people to circulate the minutes of their committee meetings about keeping the pile of corpses tidy and within regulations, and the stiff penalties for those who do not comply.
