A whole new type of democracy is thriving in one of the toughest places in the world - despite a media blackout.

Women lead. Taxes have been abolished and private property redefined. Prison is being phased out.

Everyone gets a say.

But now it's hanging by a thread. 🧵

Gaie Delap is a 78-year-old retired teacher and Political Prisoner in the UK.

Gaie was sentenced to 20months in prison for taking nonviolent action to call for an end to new North Sea oil & gas licenses.

@just-stopoil.bsky.social WON on this demand.

So why is Gaie still in prison? 1/3

This clear act of discrimination cannot be allowed in the UK

Gaie would not be spending Christmas in prison away from her family were she a young man without a health issue, for example.

The probation service is being mismanaged. #FreePoliticalPrisoners

I AM GAIE DELAP

A 77-year-old woman has been imprisoned in the UK due to failings by the privatised probation service, days before Christmas.

Gaie is in prison simply because her wrist is too small to fit a tag and a medical condition prevents use on her ankle.

Benn was suspended from the medical register after a conviction following engaging in peaceful protest.
