The police should not record us as hateful in secret

[Spero]

Dear all

At 2pm Tomorrow I will be launching something which I understand it is against the terms and conditions of this site to mention but i hope you will check out my Twitter page for more information - @SVPhillimore.

I know its a difficult time of the year to ask people to do more gardening but if you don't feel like actually hefting a spade I would be really grateful if you could amplify my information.

I seriously think we are currently facing the most significant threat to our fundamental civil liberties in my life time. My lawyers have written today to Wiltshire and the College of Policing to give them until November 20th to delete the recording made about me that I am 'hateful' and to withdraw the hate crimes guidance. If they won't - we go to court.

Thank you

Watching with interest.

We should all be concerned about this, regardless of any other views. It's highly likely some trans right activist also have hate incidents recorded against them.

Are we to await to further digging instructions Spero or is there an existing hole?
The gardens will be open to the public from 2pm tomorrow and will need a thorough digging over in readiness for winter.

I have my spade ready.
I’m looking forward to spring when the garden comes out of the darkness, the sun shines and the garden looks beautiful once again

Thanks for this. There is a v concerning lack of due process and transparency in the policy.

Thank you all. I also wait for spring and something beautiful to grow again in all our gardens. Thankyou for digging! 27 minutes until Spade Time!

Following and spade ready.

The gardens are open, all visitors very welcome!

Check out my pinned tweet.

I'll do a bit of digging!

I don't understand how the police can say that they must follow guidance they set themselves, which has no legal footing. It is not statutory guidance. It is just a document they have written. Blindly following it means they could or could not be doing something unlawful, depending on how good the document is.

Been digging in the garden. Good luck x

Spent some time with the spade.

Have donated and shared. So many women are telling me how they agree wholeheartedly but are too scared to speak out in public for a fear of being threatened, sacked, doxxed or all of the above.

Thank you so much for doing this, Sarah.

Good for you!

Thank you all. Crowdjustice have emailed to say I need to aim for half funding secured in first 3 days so it's looking good so far.

Er i mean the Head Gardner has informed me that the vegetable patch needs to be at least half dug by Monday.

Beautiful day, I've done some digging. Good luck!

I've dug over a bit of ground, sorry I couldn't dig more!

Thanks for all the digging you lovely Lady Gardeners!

This is an interview I have just done which I hope explains things really clearly.

I’m not much of a gardener but I do enjoy seeing flowers bloom. Solidarity.

I managed my patch

Points well made, Spero, clearly but chillingly

Thank you all who have hefted a spade, 77% of the garden has now been dug!

Harry and I are talking about our cases on a Fair Cop podcast if you would like an update.

Good move. Fingers crossed for you. They are clearly feeling the heat.

We need a little [dig] [dug] [will dig asap] emoticon.
