November 6th meeting this week. My political work is going well. Have speaking gig in K. on the 15th and another one on the 17th in A. will be bringing S. to both and she will also be speaking. To her be the limelight, I say.

I have just gotten a Big Person to speak at a civil liberties meeting we are planning, and I just went with my friend S, a young, hijab wearing Muslim student, to talk about police monitoring of Muslims here with an MP. He claimed it was a Scottish Parliament issue but will be doing some stuff about it, asking a question to the police and sending someone to the civil liberties meeting.

S was the bad cop, yelling and calling him by his first name, and I was the far more reasonable good cop. Of course S was right - there's no reason for me to be smiling and nodding at this guy. What happens to me when I am in the presence of authority?

We'll need to do some press about this, coordinate and so on and so forth. S is 21, and I am 27, and she is a metric shit-ton smarter than me from what I can tell!
