The more I think about this, the more shocking it gets. A government minister asked a political opponent a question, knowing that if he answered "yes", he would be arrested and potentially imprisoned. That's thanks to his government's unhinged law. It is so disturbing!
Replying to @ZackPolanski
Do you support the Palestine Action group?

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business." The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries. Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide. The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs. It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.

Among much utter mince uttered by the English Court of Appeal today. Lady Chief Justice Carr said that the suffragettes were non-violent and did not plan any actions in secret. Which is so ignorant of history I don't know where to start...

Journalist Janine di Giovanni: "If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, Europe calls it a war crime." "But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

3 of the 4 people didn’t attack the police officer and all of the 4 were cleared of violent intent. So the only disgrace here is the lie you’re telling to justify a clear miscarriage of justice & the use of anti-terror laws to justify your government’s complicity in a genocide.
Smashing up property and attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer is not “protest” It’s violence Zack Polanski is a disgrace. Anyone voting Green is supporting this nonsense

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers. Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

🚨 Reports say FIFA is fuming with UEFA. After the US humiliated top African referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan — CAF Referee of the Year — denying him entry despite a valid visa and blocking him from the 2026 World Cup... UEFA just handed him the biggest stage: officiating the 2026 UEFA Super Cup final. FIFA talks big about "inclusivity" and "global football," but stays silent when the host nation disrespects African officials. Meanwhile, Europe steps up. This exposes everything. The World Cup in America is showing its true colors: selective borders for Africans while they welcome whoever fits their interests. Africa is not begging for scraps. Our talent will shine — with or without their permission.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy "Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately. Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel was forced to bomb Iran in order to “prevent a nuclear attack on Israel.” This man will not stop until he starts a world war.

The USA has just withdrawn ALL the World Cup tickets supplied to Iran, meaning that none of their supporters will be able to attend their games. Donald Trump is banning Referees and banning supporters, he is trying to fix the World Cup. The USA have to be disqualified.
