It's only two days until voting at the #GortonAndDenton #byelection.
So I thought that the #LabourParty needed some visual assistance. Time to highlight the achievements of #Starmer's Labour government's choice as Ambasador to the United States, who is seen here helping the ##MetropolitanPolice #NetPol with their inquiries.
#Mandelson is such a big-hearted man, always #HappyToHelp the cops, just like he helped out his pal #Epstein!

#NETPOL: Facial recognition at protests: a guide for protesters and legal observers
This is a guest post by #BigBrotherWatch.If your custody image has ever been taken by the police, but your charges were dropped or you were found not guilty, you can apply to have your custody image deleted. We recommend you do so, to reduce the likelihood of your facial biometrics being retained (unlawfully) and used in facial recognition watchlists

#netpol has published a guide for #activists targeted under counter-terrorist powers.
In this guide, we outline how counter terror policing works in britain, and what this means for movements today. It explains how the Terrorism Act 2000 is being used on the ground, often by ordinary officers with little understanding of the legislation they're citing.
We offer practical guidance on asserting your rights when stopped, what to say (and not say), and what to do.

#Netpol has exposed the 'state of protest' in the #UKpol --- and it's not good

"Wear a mask to [protect] your health and others. The coronavirus pandemic is not over, 2 million people in the UK are now experiencing long COVID and tens of thousands of people who have a weakened immune system remain clinically vulnerable. Everyone wearing a mask is a way of offering safety and solidarity to people…" Excellent stuff, as usual, from @netpol: https://solidarity.netpol.org/category/protests/ #NetPol #protest #MaskUp #surveillance

"The new laws aren’t actually anything new - they largely extend existing police powers. But they’re intended to create the impression that particular actions like wearing face coverings are now 'banned,' scaring people away from legitimate activities. With the COVID pandemic still raging, there’s never been a more important time to mask." Excellent bulletin on the proposed amendments to the UK's Criminal Justice Bill, from the awesome folks at @netpol - I highly recommend activists follow their work, utilise their resources, and donate whenever possible. #NetPol #WearAMask #MaskUp #protest
