Have you checked out the brilliant #SeriousNonsenseFestival lineup yet?

📆 11-13 August https://t.co/vnK3coBGxf
None can look at this and say such gratuitous use of force by these pigs (there is no other word for them) is proportionate or justified.
They are forcibly detaining a young woman and separating her from her baby boy, to the obvious and understandable distress of both.
There is NO explanation but racism. This is the systemic culture that allows her (his) majesty’s serving metropolitan @metpoliceuk police psychopaths to abduct rape and murder young women in our capital city.
What is the response of our corrupt politicians? @RishiSunak is too busy texting with @BorisJohnson and David Cameron to grant a billion pounds to Greensil Capital to notice.
These officers would fall over themselves to lick any PM boots. And all of the PMs would promote deporting « swarms of immigrants » to Rwanda, while they rob us blind.
This corrupt decadent parasitic capitalist system will fall.

Utterly bizarre that politicians who have their meals subsidised by the taxpayer say there is no money to feed hungry kids in schools. Over just 3 years, the public have forked out over £17m to subsidise MPs' meals. There's plenty of money; it's just going to the wrong places.
The deep sea mining industry wants to mine an area four times the size of Germany - even though 5000 new species have just been discovered in the area. If the UK is serious about ocean protection, the government must join the call to ban deep sea mining @JamesCleverly
The campaign against ticket office closures isn’t just about fighting proposals that make railways less accessible – it is against bosses wrecking a vital public service while their millions keep flowing in.

I just signed the campaign calling on water companies to stop the unjust act of hiking our bills while paying their shareholder dividends. Will you join me? https://t.co/TJKBGp9XXh
🚨BREAKING: The Government has suffered a major defeat as the High Court rules that its “strike-breaking” agency worker regulations are unlawful.
