Danny has been invited to the House of Lords and is going to discuss the petition and highlight how victims suffer when failed by the Police. He is going to explain how difficult it is for some victims to access the not fit for purpose police complaints system and how some have been obstructed by the Police. Shatterboys is also holding an event on the 29th July at Speakers corner. Many people will be speaking with a wide range of skills to support victims and survivors. We are really pleased that the Baroness of Moulsecoomb, Jenny Jones will be speaking. Jenny was introduced to the House of Lords on 5th November 2013, having been elected to represent the Green Party there by Party members. Whilst I am extremely interested in environmental issues and support the Green Party this is not the reason Jenny is speaking. In June 2014, Jenny penned an editorial in The Guardian wherein she criticised the surveillance tactics of police on activists. After going through the process now available through the Data Protection Act to get the police report on herself, she found that she was labelled a potential "domestic extremist". She found that the report contained only publicly available information, such as tweets, and that nothing in it would suggest potentially dangerous activity. Jones has been under surveillance by the police's "domestic extremism" unit from 2001 until 2012, including the time during her attempt to become London's mayor. She viewed the revelation as both a violation of her privacy and a waste of police resources. She is now calling for a re-evaluation of police policies, especially in regards to political activists I think a lot of people we know and support will relate to what Jenny has to say. Jenny is outspoken on a number of issues and this is the kind of person we need who is not afraid to tell the truth how ever many people it upsets. She was a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority and has issued a report on traffic policing. She sat on both the MPA’s Strategic and Operational Policing Committee and Civil Liberties Panel. Elsewhere she put forward a motion and has put questions to the Mayor calling for progress on women’s issues, specifically in relation to violence against women and support provision. Jenny has a wealth of experience dealing with the Police and it will be very exciting for all to hear her speak. Please see the event details which will be updated soon Thank You https://www.facebook.com/events/388001378368403/
