For over 5 years the Bayoh family have fought for justice following #ShekuBayoh death in police custody, they want a #BlackLivesMatter protest more than most- but even though Sunday is 5th anniversary of Sheku’s funeral they don’t want you to risk lives #COVID19 thread 👇🏽 Image
My name is Kadi, I am also a staff nurse “In as much as my family would like to be part of the demonstrations taking place on Sunday for #BlackLivesMatter, I believe that danger of the spread of Coronavirus is still too great... Image
As a staff nurse I know the deadly impact of the virus and I would worry about social distancing on the day and the lives of my family and other lives being put at risk. Image
Sadly we cannot attend, nor will we encourage others to go because we believe a virtual protest would be far more effective and involve those unable to attend because of the risk. Image
I hope that you will join our campaign, we have fought for 5 years for justice for my dead brother #ShekuBayoh & believe #BlackLivesMatter but these are struggles which must happen well after Sunday - thank you for all your support crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…

🧵1/21 Crushing defeat for @RishiSunak on Suella & Priti’s cruel flagship policy-Supreme Court rules unanimously UK Govt.’s inhumane policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda ‘UNLAWFUL’- not just ECHR but a no. of international treaties apply-a summary👇
🧵2/21 This Government is not above the rule of international law, as the Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the Home Secretary's appeal & upholds the Court of Appeal's conclusion that the Rwanda policy is unlawful. supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-202…
Image
🧵3/21-This is because there are substantial grounds for believing that asylum seekers would face a real risk of ill-treatment by reason of refoulement to their country of origin if they were removed to Rwanda. Image

1/5 🧵Queen not even buried, but Charles appoints disgraced Prince Andrew as Counsellor of State to stand in for him if he’s ill or out of UK- he was friends with rapist sex trafficker Epstein & settled a sexual assault case with £12M of our money -but don’t criticise the 👑?
2/5 Remember in 2021 we were told that Charles opposed Andrew’s return- what happened? I wait to hear what the fervent Royalists have to say about this ‘man’ being a defacto head of state🤴🏻🇬🇧 marieclaire.co.uk/royal-news/pri…
3/5 Andrew’s sister Princess Anne is not allowed because under the Regency Act 1937 male heirs had 1st right to the throne over females – a rule known as male royal primogeniture.

1/13 Put bluntly the most senior Judges in Scotland have delivered @scotgov a devastating indictment on its consultation on Legal Services Regulation Reform- essentially accusing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Govt of interference with the rule of law & an independent judiciary judiciary.scot/home/media-inf…
2/13- “The foundation of our democracy is the rule of law & ..the separation of powers. An independent legal profession & ..judiciary, is central to the operation of the rule of law; the protection of the public from the arbitrary abuse of power by the state depends upon it” Image
3/13- “It is of grave concern that this consultation fails to recognise suitably the constitutional importance of the Lord President and the Court of Session’s role in regulating the legal profession.” Image
