Here’s the same statement from UK Quakers about the police raid on Westminster Meeting House, but on the website and with nicer formatting: https://www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/quaker-meeting-house-raided-by-metropolitan-police-again

@considermycat Historically, nobody raiding Quaker meeting houses has ever been one of the good guys. I mean this was the Met again, so it didn't need saying, but still.

@considermycat Missed The Onion headline: "Police say they shut down Quaker shoplifting training" No one would have been fooled - too silly by half. #UKPol

@considermycat what bothers me here is that the only online news source i'm able to find this in is Catholic News. Good on them, but i would have thought it was worth a mention in the Guardian or something?

@considermycat “It was at this point the Quakers thought, screw it, if we’re going to get arrested anyway, let’s start training for violent insurrection.”

@considermycat Quakers training for "mass shoplifting"? Couldn't they at least come up with something … more convincing? Like, vegetarians training for mass meat consumption at a steakhouse, or something?

@considermycat It's never comfy for Quakers when there's a King Charles around! Prove me wrong!
