We have had 17 years of Austerity. What we need now is Austerity for the rich. Let them go without Mansions, Private Jets and Megayachts for at least 17 years.

RUI for a “summary only” offence means prosecutors must bring charges within 6 months of arrest, or there can be no further action. RUI does not mean those arrested will certainly avoid trials or prosecution. We expect all 857 Sept 6 arrestees to be RUI. 2/3
