@AERMorg A spokesman for the intelligence services revealed that they had not applied for their Oath of Allegiance request forms (available from HM Post Offices) and further to this, there was no indication that they had any intention to do so.
The case continues....
Republican protesters near Trafalgar Square being told by a Met Police officer that they may be arrested for public nuisance for chanting “Not My King”
There must be 2500 people at least now in Traf Square.
All breaking the law, according to the police here.
But the Sun’s out.
Our numbers are growing by the minute.
We are
#ExtinctionRebellion.
And the Government has lost the high ground to us - by trying to ban us...
Pse RT!
What a day! Today 2,500 XR rebels assembled in Trafalgar Sq. in defiance of @metpoliceuk London-wide ban on XR protests. They heard speeches & took part in people's assemblies on the question of how to respond to the climate & ecological emergency #TheRebellionStrikesBack
Join us at 1:30pm in Trafalgar Square for a historic mass civil disobedience action. Following the decision to ban peaceful protest in London, we are calling on everyone to to defend our civil liberties by joining our Emergency Assembly. Here's the plan: https://t.co/KiXnHBtKPQ
⚡Judicial Review Update⚡XR's application for Judicial Review has been accepted by the High Court for a Directions Hearing tomorrow from 2pm in Court 2. Lawyers for XR will argue that the substantive hearing should happen as a matter of urgency. #TheRebellionStrikesBack
URGENT: Ask your MP to join us in Trafalgar Square today. You can use the template in the google doc below to invite them, or write your own (personal beats generic). Please circulate to all UK XR groups #TheRebellionStrikesBack

Hi @DailyMailUK@Holly_JoyB you attack @ExtinctionR for some people who’ve given up careers to work full time being paid around £200 a week. Meanwhile your owner J Harmsworth is worth $1.2 billion and pays ZERO uk income tax and DM owned via 2 tax haven shell companies?! Oh dear.
Midnight, wind picking up to make the flags blow harder. Police gather, new shift. No cells left.
Periodic cheers as arrestables become arrestees. Caterpillars to butterflies, we are rising up 🦋
#EverybodyNow#ExtinctionRebellion
We respect the police as doing their job. But we are peaceful protestors with a STRICT code of nonviolence.
We're protesting for everyone's future. This is a totally unacceptable use of force. The courts should respond as they do to XR. #ExtinctionRebellion#climatechange
