    Looking at the description of the raid, I wonder whether it's a deliberate attempt to intimidate the Quakers into refusing to give house room to protestors. If that's the idea, I don't think they've met many Quakers.

    @ncdominie@mastodon.scot Authoritarian nature of repeated Home Secretaries at play. Tough on pacifists, tough on the causes of pacifism.

    @ncdominie@mastodon.scot Continuing the long history of Quakers being arrested for their pacifism. (as I'm sure you know) https://www.quaker.org.uk/faith/our-history/ww1

  • @ncdominie@mastodon.scot Quakers have a history of being persecuted that dates back to the seventeenth century. You would hope that was all over, though.

    @ncdominie@mastodon.scot Cool cool. I guess I’ve now lived long enough to witness “we kick down the doors of Quaker meeting houses” fall below “our hats have skulls on them” levels of self-awareness. Fuck me.

    @ncdominie@mastodon.scot the thing all these law enforcement people and their oligarch bosses seem to have forgotten is the deal. It’s the Quaker/peaceful protest way or it becomes John Brown/anarchist time. God help them all if it becomes both.
