State violence against peaceful protest is wrong whether in #HongKong, #Myanmar or the UK Our own ‘democracy’ isnt an absolute one. Its a relative one & under this Govt sliding the wrong way. This is the most unaccountable/powerful Govt in the last 70 yrs & its abusing that power

Police assaulted me at the Bristol protest even though I told them I was from the press. I was respectfully observing what was happening and posed no threat to any of the officers. I have muted the latter part of the video to spare you all the pain of hearing my shrill voice.
