Swindon Defund The Police

Inspiring to see England defying bigots and still taking the knee at the start of the game. But also, great to see Italy, for what I think is the first time in the tournament, also taking the knee! Such solidarity!

"One of them kidnapped and murdered a woman and when there was a vigil for the victim the police battered the attendees. An inquiry into the incident it, done by ex-police officers, said it was perfectly fine and attacked those who criticised the police for not even waiting for the cover up to exonerate themselves. There is a new Bill to give the police extra powers and to show the need for it the country’s police forces have united to attack anyone demonstrating against it. In Bristol over 80 people are facing jail time for serious charges despite the police admitting they faked injury reports on their officers."

🚨Kill the Bill: Swindon takes to the streets🚨

📢Over 100 people turned out to support the local ‘Kill the Bill’ demo in Swindon today - one of over 50 around the country.

✊Swindon ACORN were proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with other local people to resist a serious attack on our right to organise.

The bill is nothing more than a continuation of 4 decades of legislation, from anti-union laws to the criminal justice act and SOCPA that have systematically stripped working class and oppressed groups of the only tools with which we have ever been able to change society for the better.

💪Direct action and solidarity are the only tools with which ordinary people have changed society for the better, and that is why Buckland and the cabinet of millionaires he represents want us even more criminalised.

It’s going to be a hard fight, but if we have each others back and don’t shy away from getting stuck in, we can and we will win!

👉 If you want to help organise our community to run in the interests of ordinary people, not a greedy few, join ACORN today - acorntheunion.org.uk/join
