“Good Law Project is supporting Amy Pritchard, 37, and Giovanna Lewis, 65, who were given 7 weeks in prison for addressing the jury to say climate change and fuel poverty were the reasons for their protest.
We are deeply concerned about the silencing of protesters in this way, and the precedent this is setting.

Peaceful climate change protestors should be able to explain the reasons for their actions to the jury and not be criminalised and sent to prison for doing so” #PoorLaw

This evening, to attempt to keep up momentum of working on the dissertion over the holidays I'm back to trying to locate baptism, marriage and burial information for my pack of Irish paupers.

If you hear screaming it's just me getting frustrated with negative searches

Decided to switch up from locating Irish paupers to reading the Board of Guardian minute book for 1841 ... because my fuzzy head needs more of a challenge!

@MishJHolman how'd you get on with it? I need to go through the Poor Law Comms. reports for 1841 / 42 but I don't think I have enough motivation at the moment! #Geneadons #Genealogy #Research #PoorLaw
