@SophieLongley4 I think you want to quote the 2010 Equlity Act at them. It states that service providers can treat one group preferentially if this is a proportionate means to allow that group to access services. Giving you qs in advance does NOT mean having to give them to everyone.

One year ago, #EnvironmentalDefender Eduardo Mendua was shot dead outside his home.

One accomplice, David Benito, was sentenced to 13 years in November. However, 3 others remain at large.

For justice to be served, they must be brought before the courts.

Dead River is a podcast in English that shares the story of Mariana’s dam collapse. It is a story of loss, destruction, and death of people, land, and dreams. But this is also a way to bring awareness and restitution. Glad to have contributed
