Recruitment implies they have a choice
They only arrested the people that stayed to get nicked. Within the hour of the protest less than 100 people were arrested. Most who were arrested never went to a police station, only to a gazebo where they were given bail not to partake in any Palestine related protests and then sent on their way. No charges etc so far.

Labour has accused Farage and Reform UK of being “on the side of predators like Savile” by opposing the Online Safety Act.
He probably is on the side of predators, but not because he opposes the public surveillance act
You reap what you sow
I was hopeful for this when I heard that Ecosia and Qwant were working together to reduce reliance on Microsoft and Google, but a search engine "designed specifically for LLMs and generative AI agents" was not what I was hoping for.

They wrote in an email to What The Trans:
To whom it may concern,
I am a representative of BASH BACK, a trans led direct action group devoted to tackling the rising tide of transphobia in the UK. As I write this, actionists are conducting our first action at Wes Streeting’s office in Ilford North.
Wes Streeting, as you well know, is responsible for a heinous ban on puberty blockers for trans youth, as well as a swathe of other restrictions on transgender people’s healthcare rights.
He is also, according to at least one legal professional, personally responsible for covering up reports of the deaths of trans young people under the care of NHS England. Every day, trans people are dying as a result of his policies and his inaction.
As trans people, we refuse to take this lying down any longer. We have chosen to take action to demonstrate that we will not be victimised or scapegoated by Streeting and his ilk any longer. We will not allow more of our loved ones to be to be harrassed, to be legislated, to be excluded, to be denied healthcare, to be murdered. We are trans and we BASH BACK.

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag

Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel's actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It's like saying "Death to the wehrmact"
People think that 1/5 americans are trans? Billionaire owned media really does shit in our brains, huh?
If only this could have been seen coming ... there were really just no warning signs ... I'm tired.

These are all arrests under section 13, which if charged can only be tried at a magistrate's court. In my experience magistrates often say "this isn't a court of ethics or morals, it's a court of law. I just enforce the law" which is only a moral thing to say if you think that the system by which laws are decided is fair, which it clearly isn't.
Also just saying "yeah I agree with and will enforce whatever the current czar says is right" is a crazily limp-dicked spineless belief to hold.
