The Tories really had it in for this banner in particular. This was Tobias Elwood complaining about safety 1st December. Police now have it. Trying to get it back.
NOTE: This banner is on opposite corner here to where it was taken from on 15 Dec. It all started 1st Dec, The following week on 8th we have a mystery policeman intervention ... again this very same banner, but there is a twist....I'm sorting the clips for that now.
Dodgy copper part 1
Dodgy copper part 2 . My patience worn out.
Dodgy copper part 3
So what is wrong with the 'dodgy' policeman - There is a team on the ground of around 100 officers outside of Parliament, he has come from within Parliament and alone! He has been asked by a Tory MP to intervene, the police outside Parliament had no clue!
Tobias Elwood back again 15th December. The day banner is seized.
The irony though! The banner in question was seized from the opposite corner! It was this one, the one that has also been raised inside the House by Tory MPs during debates. "SELF-SERVING LIARS ARE DESTROYING OUR NATION"

Through this God awful time it is important that we continue to protest. For the last 70 weeks, those that join us & your contributions to this fundrazr have kept SODEM current, visible & out there! Thank you. ❤️🇪🇺fundrazr.com/d1h707?ref=fb_…
2/ SODEM costs are apprx £2k month. The month ending October costs exceeded £3.5k as we were at the conferences in Brighton & Manchester. £29k raised in 70 weeks, a fantastic achievement thanks to all of you. We've run out of money! We need to find other ways to keep SODEM going!
3/ We will be there throughout December up to recess, & we will be back after recess too. We're just working out how we can keep going in the best way in the meantime! So please join us if you can. This government are the absolute cesspit & scourge of everything we stand for!
John Major on this government: This is very unconservative, if I am concerned, you can bet most of the public are. They have broken the law, broken treaties, broken their word, whenever they run up with difficulties, they don't placate,they become hostile.This is the PM we have.
2/ To call people Remoaners is so arrogant especially with what is happening with Brexit. Lord Frost & Johnson negotiated the deal with the subtlety of a brick.
Northern Ireland could become much worse, too placate Brexiteers. Mis steps by the government have exploded into anger.
3/ These are snippets from Sir John Major now live on Radio 4 with Nick Robinson. This is a voice of reason. What a great interview from him!
1/ We are all hearing about multiple arrests at protests...we hear little else about what happens afterwards, probably because it's not our protest and next to no remainers if any have been arrested. It is important that we understand the process & let others know what to expect.
2/ As we progress, people will be arrested, this state will use the police that serve us against us. You have to accept it could be you. We need to stand shoulder to shoulder & support one another, if we can't do that then what is the point. We are doing this for each other.
1/ SODEM will be at both Tory & Labour conferences protesting. Funds are dwindling, we need new placards, banners & to be able to cover the extra accommodation, transportation plus other costs. An average month is around £2k, this month will be over £3k fundrazr.com/d1h707?ref=ab_…
2/ Times are hard & they are getting harder, there are so many worthy causes, this rolling funder is what keeps SODEM going, if you can't join us any contribution to keeping us there sends your message to this corrupt government. Thank you.#WeAreNotGoingAway#CorruptToriesOut
3/ in 58 weeks we've raised £23,776 & spent £22,985.
Thank you to everyone that has joined us, contributed to keep us going & supports what we do. Without you, there is no SODEM. It's your protest! #HoldThemToAccount
