To any women fined on #ClaphamCommon last night: please contact me if you need help to challenge them.
Police have discretion to withdraw FPNs but the letters will not make this clear and will say being prosecuted in court is the only way to avoid paying. #ReclaimTheseStreets

Just got my first Blue Monday press release. Blue Monday is pseudo scientific baloney - originally by a travel firm to sell.
This year of all years, we should not be marketing based on people's mental health concerns.
