Also people have been beaten by police during this protest. There was a livestream earlier, you can probably google to find the footage. There was a young woman being pulled to the ground, hit in the face and then restrained. The police were plucking random people from the crowd and taking them down. My father told me when he attended a festival in Windsor during Thatcher’s reign the police grabbed and beat children. Our rights to protest are being revoked please support us. As for myself, my words aren’t hollow - I’m joining my local Green or Labour party and am standing for election as an equality officer in the Student’s Union. Steps need to be taken to preserve a future for us as the young people of Britain, and the best people to take action is ourselves. There’s been a moving and beautiful amount of international support for the American protests, please hold our hands too. Because we’re fucking scared. Myself, my friends, my dad, all his laddish pub-going friends are all scared.
