Sarah Everard vigil: 'All I wanted was to stand with other women'

Dania Al'Obeid, who was also later arrested, said: "I didn't know that there was going to be a large gathering. There was no way I was going to stay at home and let the trauma and upset and frustration brew inside me so, as many other women were feeling, I needed to go and pay my respect."

But by the time Ms Chambers arrived, it was "very crowded". She said: "We arrived, we found our position, it was very emotionally charged." At 18:38, Times journalist Emma Yeomans reported police were "moving in to Clapham Common bandstand, preventing speakers from talking to the crowd".Many of those who attended say the mood appeared to turn suddenly as night fell

Kate Maltby said activists from Sisters Uncut were making speeches from the bandstand shortly before the police moved in - and that she was worried the content of the speeches might be in contempt of court. Things happened in a "whirlwind", she said, after she agreed to stand in solidarity beside activists on the Clapham Common bandstand. Photos of her being carried by police officers was later to dominate the front pages of Sundays papers.

If you check the coverage on twitter you will see her earlier in the evening poking her finger and screaming into a police officers face, lucky for her when she was arrested the times photographer was on hand.

Look at the attention seeking she’s doing . She knew what she was doing

News flash Jaidah Chambers, dont break the law. Poor old you

This is why you can't fire someone for questioning the legitimacy of something it makes people more hesitant to question something.

Really!!!!!

Ffs we are in a bloody lockdown. Sarah parents wouldn't want this

A vigil which once again the looney left activists took over. The police always get the blame.

The police don't hold someone down and handcuff them for no reason.

Stop putting that poor Lady's name to this her family must be suffering enough without this shit. The vigil was cancelled so rent a mob turned up. This actress was desperate for an oppressed photo and she got it.

Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a great source of blessing to all of man kind who have passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer. SamuelEddy_15 thank you for your proper management .

What the politicians and the media seem to forget is that there is currently a ban on mass gatherings in the UK, people have made huge sacrifices during this lockdown and are getting fed up of these constant gatherings be it this vigil, the BLM lot, the Far right or

All I want is to be free of this lockdown but with these ILLEGIAL mass gatherings that wont happen will it ?

...and help spread Covid to increase pressure on the NHS. Irresponsible women should be held to account, ask the nurses.

Let’s protest for ginger right GLM ginger lives matter

😂😂😂😂😂

All I wanted was to stand with other women and spread Covid. I am young clueless stupid selfish and don’t care about my parents or grandparents. Everything is about me and if my parents die through my spread of Covid I don’t care. Epiphany of the Millenials. God help them

Law breaker

By joining an unruly mob refusing to disperse when requested by police was the wrong way to go about it! The protesters were intent on causing trouble by displaying anti police banners and intimidating the police! This was not a peaceful vigil but an excuse for causing trouble!

Selfish women and got no sympathy. It has set us back...unbelievable these stupid stupid women!!! Police 100% right... women so wrong!! 👎👎

Publicity whore

You know that's not what she is about BBC News, you only have to look at Twitter to connect the dots. Tell the whole story and not just the one that generates the most clicks.

And break the law!

And the protesters against lockdown! Obviously lots of men in touch with their feminine side!

Yeah, fantastic. All families wanted to do was attend family funerals however when rules / laws prohibit that then sadly you cant.

When told not in a pandemic, that’s the spirit ignores all advice and now you say that

Fuck off now you have had your two minutes of fame

Stop showing this liar bored of her now.

Now you want to be in the Limelight !!
