🚨 BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS
Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag.
She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her.
Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange.
She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.

A huge round of applause please, and lots of love sent, to @ChrisGPackham whose idea the march was and who was inspirational all day.
The crowd would have had many different ways of supporting Nature, and different reasons, but he pulled us together.
