“Stop and search; restricting citizenship; controlling the electoral commission; cracking down on protest - This is a power grab the likes of which we have never seen”.
“This government wants a society where justice is not for all of us”.
“As a human rights campaigner for more than 5 decades, I know that the right to protest has made our country a better place to live and turned over many injustices”.
“We can’t let the government take that right away in our name.”
“When they told us not to march against apartheid, not to march against the decision to leave the EU, and today when they say it doesn’t matter that the PM breaks the rules, remember:
“What we desperately need to fix all of our other problems is DEMOCRACY - Boris Johnson holds far too much power with only 46% of the vote”.
“We are heading very fast towards autocracy, destroying the few democratic structures we have.”
.@natalieben: “History is not pre-written; IT IS MADE.”
“We are in an unstable situation environmentally politically and economically - all of us together have the power to build a different world, to build a different system”
We didn’t let the rain stop us. Thanks to all who made it today and those who were there in spirit ✊
We’re just getting started - the fight to get #JohnsonOut and restore our politics is just beginning. Support us below for more rallies & marches!
💥🧵 The line-up of speakers for our #StopTheRot protest rally at Downing Street tomorrow (Sunday 15 May) between 2pm and 4pm is sensational! I can't wait to hear what all these people have to say. Have a look and retweet until your heart's content...👇
