    Black people at any age in the UK are continually at risk of gratuitous violence. This isn't an issue of bad apples but the systematic impunity of We plan for its abolition and towards real safety in our communities.

    NEW: Met Police officers have been accused of beating up an elderly Black man in Bromley. They stopped the 70 year old's vehicle with a broken brake light. He sustained serious injuries & was hospitalised. Met today told me that matter has been referred to the IOPC.

    You did not respect the right to protest when you charged horses at crowds. You did not respect it when you brutalised activists. You did not respect it when you arrested our Legal Observers. The main perpetrator of harm at protests is always you

    We understand and respect the right to protest but not the right to cause disruption to the public in this way. This affects critical national infrastructure and diverts many officers from responding to emergencies in their communities.

    I am always surprised by how many "this is just the way things are (done)" people there are in the world and how shocked they always are that things are so rigid when they themselves are the scaffold holding up the rigidity.

    Can you hear us ? The is about so much more than just protest. It is 300 pages of crackdown on education, traveller communities, and campaigns. It’s already passed through the House of Commons. Will the listen to us today?

    If the House of Lords refuses to reject this vicious, openly discriminatory bill then it down to all of us to make this bill unenforceable. When the law aims to persecute marginalised people, it is immoral. Immoral laws should be opposed not respected.

    Patel's Home Office say the criminalisation of trespass is "objectively justified" when even police officers say they have "enough" powers and what is needed is more sites for travellers. Their aim is not to help GRT communities but to ethnically cleanse their way of life.

    They say increasing stop and search powers is "potentially positive" because Black communities are disproportionately affected by violent crime. How does increased discrimination and harassment make anyone feel safer? Their aim is not safety but intimidation of BLM movements

    The government's own analysis that their discrimination against our communities is "potentially positive" and "objectively justified". We have always said that the PCSC bill will further criminalise and attack Black and Traveller communities. This is why we must

    Government says discrimination against black people and Travellers ‘justified’

    Home Office documents admit the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill will disproportionately impact racialised communities. But the government just don't care. This is why it's so important to oppose the whole bill, not just some of it
