Dear @pritipatel,
What led to your phone call to Herts police chief 90mins after we arrived at Murdoch's Newsprinters for our peaceful protest in September?
And what did you discuss with Murdoch in your private meeting 10 days after the protest?
Asking for a friend.
Thanks x
The billionaire press is corrupting our democracy, dividing our communities & failing in its duty to #TellTheTruth on the climate crisis
Join us on the streets on June 27th to #FreeThePress
They want us divided.
It's time to stand together ✊
Today a senior officer has testified in court that after approx 90mins of our printworks protest, Priti Patel & Boris Johnson were taking an active interest
Just after midnight on 4th September 2020, the Home Sec rang the Hertfordshire Chief Constable...
We do not know what was discussed, other than there was pressure to move the protest ASAP
This informed the police behaviour;
👉protestors had stated from the start that they would leave willingly at 11am
👉the protestors on the roof of the vans & suspended in the bamboo structures, came down at 11am on the dot to be arrested
👉at this point, the 2 vans and 2 8metre tall tensegrity structures were still in the road (the protest could have continued for many more hours)
