John McDonnell's argument falls apart the moment you look at what Palestine Action actually did. This wasn't ordinary protest. This wasn't people holding signs outside Parliament. This was a movement whose members repeatedly engaged in break-ins, criminal damage, sabotage, intimidation, and attacks on facilities, causing millions of pounds in losses. The age of some supporters is completely irrelevant. A pensioner committing a criminal offense does not magically transform it into peaceful activism. What really brings the law into disrepute is the idea that criminal acts should be excused because the perpetrators claim a political cause. The rule of law cannot operate on the principle that vandalism, violence, and destruction become acceptable when directed at targets some politicians dislike. McDonnell wants the public to see activists. The courts saw offenders. That's why they were convicted. #consequences #Justice

Parliament should reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action urgently before we see large numbers of elderly people in particular being dragged before our courts. Classifying protest through direct action as terrorism brings Parliament & our judicial system into disrepute

If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot. Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford. #BBCLauraK

BREAKING: France has launched an investigation into alleged war crimes and torture over Israel's treatment of French activists detained after taking part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

No, it is a war - the October 7th War in Gaza. The only deliberate massacre of innocent children occurred in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas and Gazan civilians. It's always unfortunate and tragic that some civilians die in wars caused by evil regimes like Hamas, just like the thousands of German civilians who perished in WW2 because the evil, genocidal Nazis started a war in Europe. So if it's true and not pro-Hamas propaganda like the AI videos that Dr. Haj-Hassan held a dead child in her arms, any moral person world blame Hamas and the Gazans who support Hamas. In fact, it's truly revealing she hold Hamas to zero accountability. Imagine someone about dead German babies in 1943, and her only condemnation is to accuse the Allies of genocide. This is an instant tell of a pro-Nazi activist. Same with Gazan Arabs like Dr. Hah-Hassan with the modern Nazis of Hamas. In fact, by any historical standard, far fewer civilians have died in Gaza than in any previous war, especially wars in densely populated, urban areas like in German cities in WW2. Look below at a picture of the totally destroyed city of Wessel, Germany, in 1945. According to Dr. Haj-Hassan's claim in this video, the Nazis are devoid of any responsibility for this and the Allies committed genocide.

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.
