this copper just threw a 13yo black girl on the floor “like a rag doll” after she was (falsely, it seems) accused of shoplifting from Sainsbury’s in Hackney Wick @HackneyCopWatch the girl has recently come out of hospital, and is visibly not well (just threw up)

@blixberrie if you’re earning £85k before tax then your income is in the 95th-96th percentile, you are rich, and you should definitely be taxed more taxing wealth and profit should take priority, but people earning in the top 5% of incomes should still pay more income tax
