WATCH - Trudi Warner arrested, handcuffed, and carried for holding a placard with the law written on it outside Woolwich Crown Court. “There’s a High Court Ruling about this law” Trudi ought to know, because the case was “the Secretary General vs Trudi Warner”, and Trudi won.

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population. The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined. Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.
