jfc... she's 77. Does the petrochemical industrial complex require so much protection from this tiny elderly woman that they need her to go back to jail? Because she's not a threat to anything else.

The terms of Delap’s curfew prevent her speaking directly to the media so her brother, Mick, is speaking on her behalf. “This is very cruel,” he said. “Gaie is sitting at home terrified with her suitcase packed waiting for a knock on the door from police. She has been unable to eat or sleep because of this.

“She is hoping against hope that sense can prevail and that she won’t have to go back to jail.”

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
