The treatment of Gaie has been shameful.

My birthday wishes to her too. Her campaign efforts are much appreciated. 💚

Well said, Carla - free them all, now!

How do people with ankle tags manage? Are Ms Delap’s ankles equally tiny as to prevent this?

Just an aside - nice to read a thread of thoughtful, caring replies.
If this were the other place, it would have meant 10 minutes of blocking bots, deniers, bigots and worse.
Refreshing difference, eh?

Is there anything that can be done to make her stay less unpleasant? Send her something? Any way public could be useful?

This is a great idea

Why on earth does she need a tag?

The Greens are now one of the few voices of the disadvantaged and oppressed. Remember come election time Local and parliamentary

How is this legal?

UK police, courts and bureaucracy have truly reached the bottom of the barrel.... where they can be found along with our politicians.

Would it help if I offer to ring her up and drop by unannounced at regular intervals to check she's where she's meant to be. I have the necessary clearances...

Not just about challenging this ageist/sexist discrimination for one convicted criminal but on behalf of all! The 2010 Equality Act applies but individuals lack the financial resources to challenge big corporations/organisations that blatantly flout the law (making it worthless!)

Is there more to it than that? If a British judge has sent her to jail, that needs to be respected for the rule of law, even if she is 78 and a menace to society?… [views personal]

P.S. where was her lawyer making an effective plea in mitigation?!

This poor woman should never have been imprisoned in the first place.

Please help me and donate, even a little for the sake of my family and my sick brother, and helped me with publication and the participation of my publication as much as possible for the success of my campaign and thank you

(It is outrageous and disgusting)

I do hope you push for compensation for her. None of her fault.

megsfgreen.bsky.social•49 days ago

Still?? Wow.

mmay.bsky.social•49 days ago

Thank you Carla. And it wasn't even a particularly small size tag that was needed. And Serco lied by reporting that Gaie had refused to let a tag be fitted. Free Gaie today...on her 78th Birthday, and review the similar injustices that lead to prisoners being recalled to prison.

People gather to walk to Eastwood prison to sing Happy Birthday to Gaie Delap
