    Greta's Been Arrested

    She's come here to protest outside the Park Lane Hotel with JSO plus others, and now been arrested.

    Heard earlier today people were turning up to get in the hotel to have a "surprised" welcome and being unable to get into the hotel.

    Greta Thunberg has been detained by police at a climate protest outside a central London hotel.

    Images showed the 20-year-old Swedish environmental activist being led away by officers, before being moved into the back of a marked van.


    She had been at a demonstration outside a major annual meeting of industry leaders from Shell, Total, Equinor, Saudi Aramco and other oil giants.

    Give Greta a rucksack and put her on the tube.

      Now been charged

      If convicted does she get banned from the UK?

          Only if she claims asylum here.

          Least the women's prisons have space....

            And she is at another one

            Greta Thunberg has taken part in climate protests in London for the second time this week, protesting outside the JP Morgan headquarters in Canary Wharf.
            Apparently undeterred after being arrested and subsequently charged with a public order offence after a protest on Tuesday, the Swedish campaigner joined fellow activists in the east London financial district on Thursday morning.

            “Change your diet, save the climate – eat the rich,” chanted protesters sitting outside the JP Morgan building on Bank Street, as financial services workers filed past on the way to their desks.

                  Don't give the Westminster government any more ideas on how to do deal with male prison overcrowding...

                    tagging and CCTV policing exclusion areas. Keep shoplifters home.

                    Identify the cause of crime (frequently drink or drugs) then make treating them part of the sentence. No Parole until you test clean multiple times.

                    Educate criminals and make them realise their actions hurt people.

                    Feck it take over an island or hulks and turn it into a prison.

                    Deport foreign criminals. Remove their leave to remain.
