Cllr Oliver Patrick 🔶 🇬🇧 🍏 🕊

I am an Xile. This X account is no longer monitored.

God bless this woman. She knows what community is all about. ❤️

@VanDutchmanXXX To what end? Thanks 👋

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month. Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

@LibDemPatrick I, for one, will be extremely sad to see you go, Oliver. 😢 Thank you for your passionate advocacy for clean indoor air. You’ve been an inspiration to many of us. I wish you and your family (and Clean Air Claire, of course) all the best for the future. 🧡🧡🧡

I think, with regret, it is time to leave Twitter/X. This platform is a catalyst for hate and division. It has become markedly worse. I’ve achieved much more campaigning for change in the real world than I ever have on here. So, that’s where I’ll focus all my energy. Peace ✌️

@AgnesAyton Not replacing T/X with anything…

@LibDemPatrick Where are you going? Your campaigning has been much appreciated.

@AlisonGeorge10 Good ideas here. Thank you!

@LibDemPatrick Can I recommend trying this👇🏼before you definitely decide to leave @LibDemPatrick ? It’s worth a try & the block fest is pleasurable in itself!

@Lawlove I don’t blame you. There is so much good in the real world. We saw that last night with the anti-fascist protests far outnumbering the right wing thugs.

@WyshesWy I’ll not be replacing Twitter/X with anything else. I’ll hang around for the evening to say goodbyes to people then I’m off from midnight.

@NateB_Panic @jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot No, thanks. I think you’ve made your horrid views quite clear. Nothing indicates that talking face to face with you would achieve anything whatsoever.

@LibDemPatrick @jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot Happy to talk face to face. Message me

@NateB_Panic @jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot Charming. I’ll tell you what the last week’s events have taught me: that there is literally no point engaging with faceless accounts on Twitter/X 👋

@LibDemPatrick @jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot What in the events taught you that peaceful protest should be punishable with years in prison? Please expand

Are you watching @elonmusk? Do you understand the significance of these two particular papers standing with these huge crowds and overwhelming UK public opinion… …and against you & your bot army incitement of thugs to a “civil war”? My country is better than that. Learn it.

It is heartwarming to see so many people of all backgrounds and all walks of life standing peacefully together in solidarity against racism, Islamophobia and violence. We are indebted to our brave police officers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our communities safe.

@jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot As a Mill/Taylor Liberal with a big L, I also have due regard to the Harm Principle. Sentencing is a complicated matter best left to judges and juries.

@LibDemPatrick @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot Is peaceful protest not an important liberty? Going back to the OP's point, the current racist riots have caused a lot more harm than that climate protest. Harm that is ongoing, eg: x.com/NateB_Panic/st… And they tried to burn people alive. Parity in sentencing please.

@NateB_Panic @jr1024green @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot Goodness me. Haven’t events of the last week or so taught you anything?

@jr1024green @LibDemPatrick @Boyintheband @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds

@HughMally @ds22040 @GeorgeMonbiot There’s nothing confusing about it. As a Liberal I believe in the innate liberty of my fellow citizens. I also believe in the right to protest. However, that right is limited by the Harm Principle.

@JamesMelville I call BS.

Perceptive words from Jeremy Clarkson…

The gammonati have messed up. Farage hugely weakened and looks truly scared of the monster he stirred. Laurence Fox, tabloids et al back-peddling like mad. Onwards with a grown up government and a majority of good people who love Britain as a tolerant, multicutural society.
