Quakers most peaceful of groups. What is wrong with the Met. They could have knocked on and they would have made you a cuppa. Met chief should resign.

...Quakers? The people who literally have "Friends" in their official organization name? The Christian group who call each other "Friend" and are so welcoming they have *nontheist* members? THOSE Quakers?

Did someone decide it was no fun that everyone thinks America invented jackbooted insanity?

I assumed this was in the USA - frightening - and plenty of actual crime in westminster that they should be focusing on.

Cripes. It’s like the US.

Wait, literally how can they arrest people for "holding a meeting"? Like I know shit is out of control right now but this seem *extremely* unjustifiable.

If The Quakers are your enemy, you are a bad guy.
