Yesterday the far right attacked Bookmarks bookshop. It doesn't matter it's a left wing bookshop, it matters that they ripped up books. The Nazis burned books. I stand with the staff and all those who support Bookmarks Bookshop #neveragain #NoPasaran

No one deserves to be assaulted as part of their job, which is why police have many tools to defend and protect themselves. But #SpitHoods are degrading, dangerous and have been linked to deaths in custody, and a robust case for their use has not been made metro.co.uk/2018/08/23/pol…

I’ve just done interview in BBC Manchester that spoke to a man released from prison with £12 in his pocket & hoping his tent was still where he hid it. Taxpayer spent £1000s locking him up & then dumps him on the street. You can guess what happens next.

Great article in openDemocracy by StopWatch's @Kamaljeetgill highlighting that more #StopandSearch will not fix the knife crime problem! New thinking is required to address the problem. opendemocracy.net/uk/kam-gill/st…

16 years ago on this day the Iraq war began. More than one million Iraqis lost their lives. Weapons of mass destruction were never found.

No of black people searched under s60 rose from 170 in 2016 to 3319 in 2018, in that period no. of Asian people searched rose from 30 to 663. For white people 160 to 1158 ie still an increase but much smaller - showing how increasing these powers leads to more disproportionality.

I see it’s Legal Aid Trashing Season. Comes around earlier every year. It’s possible to a) despise Shamima Begum but also b) understand why the case has some importance and implications that should be heard by a court.

Too often children in trouble are "processed" rather than "understood" The question should not be, did you do it? but what is going on for you? Important lessons from SandraPaulKN & her report on discrimination & children by JUSTICE being shared at Youth Justice Legal Centre #YJLCSummit2021
