Things that happened in Bristol and London late last night:
-In Bristol, at about midnight, the police put dispersal order in place and brought the dogs out again.
-They arrested a number of protestors in a violent and aggressive way, including a medic who was providing first aid.
-In London, a large number of arrested protestors including legal observers are still being held. Organisations suck as Green and Black Cross and Black Protest Legal Support are challenging the legality of some of these arrests.
If you are in either of these cities and can provide post arrest support, please get in touch with the relevant organisations.
Otherwise, keep fighting the good fight.
FUCK this government so fucking much i hate it here
That scene where Carol gets Cat Called? That’s happened to me.
That scene were she’s told she can’t persue her career because she’s a woman? That’s happened to me.
You know that scene where’s she’s told to control her emotions? That’s happened to me.
You know that scene where she’s told she has to prove her worth for no reason? That’s happened to me.
These aren’t feminist things. These are just female experiences. Get your heads out of your asses and learn to relate to women for FUCK’S SAKE.
I might be having a real unpopular opinion here, but Rowena’s death scene was pretty boss. Her whole speech about not loving anything enough to take her own life and all that? That was amazing.
And her, “that’s my boy.”
It was amazing.
Ruth and Jared played it so well without it becoming too melodramatic. And it wasn’t some cheap, overshadowed,”we’re only going to show how the death affects the main characters” spiel they’ve been doing while fridging women the whole time.
I’d rather her be alive, but if nothing else, that’s how to write a better death scene.
The UK government passed the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill today, which gives police massive control over protests… including preventing them if they’re too ‘annoying’ or ‘noisy’ (even if it’s only a single protester). It also effectively criminalises the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller lifestyles, and recommends 10 year prison sentences for statue vandals.
The bill passed on the same day as the government announces the abandoning of all Covid precautions, where Boris Johnson basically stood up in front of the country and said ‘yeah more people will die, but yeah… money. Do whatever the hell you want and fuck collective responsibility, every man for himself’.
Thereby COMPLETELY ignoring SAGE, the scientific experts who advise the government, who have warned that variants that are resistant to the vaccine might develop.
And all of this isn’t even mentioning the Electoral Integrity Bill that was also read today, which is looking to introduce voter ID to prevent fraud… THERE IS NO WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD IN THE UK. 4 people were convicted, and 2 people were cautioned by police in the last election.
6 people.
Out of roughly 47 MILLION people of voting age.
It’s just a move to disenfranchise voters.
Every day this hellhole just gets worse.
