"It’s kind of baffling but also affirming that the police believe a bunch of young people taking actions like this are worth the sort of resources they are devoting to these raids.”

"Quakers in Britain are reeling from what they say is an unheard-of violation of one of their places of worship by police officers who forced their way into a meeting house...

“No one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory,” -Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers #UK

The Met Police achieve a Streisland win - finally being reported by the MSM. They must be so proud. Pratts.

More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza.

None have been charged - but the message iOS clear. Under Labour dissent is BAD.

The thing about #Quakers, &I should know because I am one, is that from the outside we look pretty soft and easy to intimidate. Most of us are delicate, silver haired elderly ladies or gender diverse young people wearing shapeless clothes made of hemp. We spend endless meetings reaching consensus on decolonising the names of roles in our Meetings. But once a Quaker is finally convinced of the moral course of action there is absolutely nothing that will sway them from it.

Funny how this story didn't make the news in the UK.

When you're targeting the Quakers you have no moral high ground and are just State thugs shutting down dissent.

«The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organization that advocates for peace, said on Monday the group cancelled a planned advertisement in the New York Times in response to the paper refusing to allow it to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.»

Some fellow Friends (or, Quakers) have had an advertisement rejected from The New York Times because it calls Israeli actions in Gaza a genocide: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jan/08/new-york-times-ad-cancel-gaza-genocide
