POLICE ARRESTED AUTISTIC ACTIVIST IN SUPPORTED HOUSING AS PART OF QUAKER RAID OPERATION

Exclusive: Joe Booth, 23, says he has PTSD after arrest in which seven officers entered his flat when he was in bed.

The Met police operation in which officers raided a Quakers meeting house also resulted in the arrest of an autistic climate activist at his supported accommodation, the Guardian can reveal.

Joe Booth, 23, was in bed when seven police officers arrived at the flats for vulnerable adults in New Barnet, north London, to arrest him on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.

The arrest appeared to be linked to his attendance at weekly meetings of Youth Demand, an off-shoot of Just Stop Oil that describes itself as a nonviolent protest movement.

The evening before his arrest, up to 30 Met officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six female members of the group in what appears to be a linked raid.

It is thought to be the first time that police had forced their way into a place of worship used by the pacifist Quaker movement. The raid has been heavily criticised by politicians, campaigners and religious groups.

Booth, who claims to have never been involved in disruptive protest and to have previously attended one peaceful Youth Demand march on Downing Street, said the arrest had left him with post-traumatic stress disorder.

He said the officers who arrested him appeared to be surprised that he lived in supported accommodation for vulnerable adults.

After a support worker let the police into his flat, an officer had grabbed his arm, he claimed, and asked whether “I need to put you in handcuffs” before reading him his rights.

“They did not know until they turned up that I lived in supported accommodation,” claimed Booth, who is a cleaner on the London underground. “When they arrested me, they said to me: ‘Joe, is this supported accommodation?’ They didn’t know. You would think there would be a system in place when they are going to an address to say this is a care setting.”

Booth was in his pyjamas when the police arrived. They searched his bedroom and seized his work phone. He was then taken on a two-hour drive to Kingston police station where he was questioned and held for more than seven hours.

He was released on police bail with conditions that included a ban on him entering Westminster.

Is the United Kingdom following in the footsteps of Nazi Germany, with their Gestapo quashing public protest and freedom of speech? At the start of World War Two, King Edward VIII Duke of Windsor was a sympathizer, with the young Princes Elizabeth pictured saluting in Nazi fashion with her mother watching on.

Booth, whose brother was allowed to attend the police interview as an “appropriate adult” due to his vulnerability, said: “They showed me pictures of protests that I wasn’t even in. They showed me pictures of [information about] upcoming events, only a few of which were actually protests, the other which were just meetings and free food events. So they didn’t tell me at any point what evidence they had on me and why they got me and how they even knew my face.”

He had previously attended Youth Demand meetings at the Quaker meeting hall on St Martin’s Lane in London where attenders enjoyed a spread of jasmine tea, ginger biscuits and a selection of vegan cheese straws.

Youth Demand had been planning a series of 10-minute protests as part of a “Shut Down London” campaign and Booth had handed out leaflets promoting the group’s actions in opposition to arms sales to Israel and a lack of action on fossil-fuel harm, he said.

Booth, whose father is John Leach, the assistant general secretary of the RMT union, claimed: “I was only planning to spread news of the events. I’m not at a stage in my life where I’m ready to risk going to prison.

“Like all autistic people, I can often struggle to understand certain messages that are told to me, which is why I often need staff with me when I receive letters, because I interpret things differently and I also can’t survive without structure and routine. So when that gets disrupted by ongoing issues that becomes a problem.”

Booth said the arrest, which will raise fresh questions about the overpolicing of protest groups, had seriously affected his mental health.

He said: “Every time I hear noise in the corridor, even from a distance, I get scared that it might be police, especially when there’s a knock at my door, especially if that knock at my door is early in the morning.

“But even if it’s just from support staff or Amazon delivery or whatever, I get scared that it might be police. So my alertness has increased and my anxiety has increased. And I see a therapist every single week, because I always have and he’s in full knowledge of how it’s been affecting me.”

Booth had previously been arrested in June 2024 on the same grounds after attending Just Stop Oil meetings, he said, but again released on police bail without charge. Booth claimed he had never been involved in their disruptive activities. “I remember specifically going to meetings and saying, ‘I have not been at a protest,’” he said. “It has left me bewildered.”

It is understood that the Met believed Booth had been involved in disruptive protest in the past, which he denies.

A Met police spokesperson said: “Youth Demand stated an intention to ‘shut down’ London over the month of April.

“We have a responsibility to intervene to disrupt and prevent activity that crosses the line from lawful protest into criminality and serious disruption that adversely impacts the lives of ordinary Londoners.

“The proactive police activity on Thursday 27 March and Friday 28 March took place on the basis of intelligence that those arrested were involved in conspiring to cause serious disruption. They remain on bail while our investigations continue.

“Officers will always take into account an arrested person’s mental and physical health, carrying out full risk assessments to ensure they can be cared for appropriately while in police custody. Those processes were followed in this case.”

[Governments routinely fail to investigate inconvenient crimes to protect high up fraudsters in the civil service, making the police an accessory after the fact - where it is a crime to fail to investigate a crime. The last thing you want to do is report a crime to a police officer in London or Sussex. You could become a victim of more crimes against the person. Police and Council officers have virtual immunity from prosecution. Perpetuating cases of injustice - as there is no right of appeal in the UK - a violation of Article 13 of the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms - Article 13 being deliberately excluded from the Human Rights Act 1998 - specifically to deny an effective remedy to those wronged by the system. Article 8 of the UN's Universal Declaration.]

The home secretary, Suella Braverman, said “the crimes of David Carrick are a scar on our police”, adding: “There is no place in our police for such heinous and predatory behaviour.” She did not mention any specific policing reforms and said she awaited the outcome of the inquiry.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said: “A major overhaul of police standards is desperately needed, but there has been a serious failure by Conservative ministers to take action. We owe it to the victims in this hideous case to take the strongest action on police standards.”

The Met commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, described Carrick as “evil” and acknowledged the damage to the force – Britain’s largest – which he vowed to reform. “He exploited his position as a police officer in the most disgusting way … We weren’t rigorous enough in our approach and as a result we missed opportunities to identify the warning signs over decades,” he said.

“I and tens of thousands of officers and staff in the Met are horrified by this man’s crimes and recognise this will shake Londoners’ trust too. We have let down women across London but we are more determined than ever to put it right.”

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, gave his backing to reforms under way under Rowley: “I want to reassure the public and all the brave officers and staff who want to speak out that under the new commissioner any allegation of misconduct will be taken seriously and handled sensitively.”

Peter Burt, of the Crown Prosecution Service, accepted that the criminal justice system had failed survivors of sexual violence, but that the jailing of Carrick showed the need for people to come forward.

He said: “We know there are victims of other rape and serious sexual offences out there and that many of you may be worried about being believed or whether you’ll ever see justice done. We hope seeing Carrick, a prolific abuser, manipulator and rapist, behind bars will encourage other women to come forward, knowing we will do all we can to hold the person responsible to account for their crime.”

BBC NEWS 3 MAY 2023 - MET OFFICERS ARRESTED IN RAPE AND KIDNAP INQUIRY

Two serving Metropolitan Police officers have been arrested following an alleged kidnap and rape.

The Met said it follows an incident that "began in Kingston" in south-west London on Sunday while the officers were off-duty.

A third man, who is not a police officer, was arrested on suspicion of kidnap.

The force said both officers have been suspended from duty and the case has been referred to the police watchdog and the Met's directorate of professional standards.

In a statement, the Met said a woman is being supported by specially trained officers.

A spokesperson said one officer was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of kidnap, rape and common assault, and after consulting with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), was bailed to return on a date in June in relation to the rape.

He was released with no further action in relation to the other alleged offences.

The second officer was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and possession of class A drugs, but was released with no further action following consultation with the CPS.

The third man was also released with no further action.

It comes as Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the force has redeployed dozens of officers from tackling serious crime and terrorism to investigate Met officers suspected of wrongdoing.

The Met began rechecking staff accused of domestic abuse and sexual violence in the 10 years to April 2022 following the conviction of David Carrick, a Met officer who carried out a series of rapes during his career, and the jailing of Wayne Couzens for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard.
