Your pension is calculated from your National insurance contributions over the years, and whenever have the Tories ever respected legally binding agreements?:wink:Quote:

An armed siege? A terrorist munitions factory? No, just the Police breaking into our studio building in Haggerston on Friday 25th June because there is a sculpture on the roof that Priti Patel doesn’t like. https://t.co/4p8X1GD2fs
An art studio, with a sculpture on the roof which looks similar to structure used by extinction rebellion 🙄
I counted over 40 officers of various degrees of tooled up-ness going into that building. I wonder what that costs. I wonder if there’s other stuff they could be doing instead.Quote:

Do individual officers never question some of the acts they are ordered to carry out or are they just glad of the overtime regardless of who the victims are.Quote:

The sculpture was designed by and built by an extinction rebellion person. It was similar to one used to block access to the murdoch media empire. It is all in the article I linked to in the post above if you bothered to read it.Quote:

Agreed, especially one that required the police (some armed) to break into the property mob handed.Quote:

You would think so.Quote:

I'd imagine, if the structure was previously used to commit an offence, there may be some concerns that it would be used for the same purpose again. Like being in possession of a gun previously used in a murder.Quote:
