Those who took money from the propaganda machines PressTV (Iran), or from Russia Today, or China’s CCTV are either useful idiots or paid agents of hostile states. Or in plain English - traitors. Those who took money to suck up to Putin in Russia are selling out Britain.

The government has won its appeal to keep the ban on direct action group Palestine Action. The court of appeal today overturned the high court’s February decision that found the ban to be unlawful on the grounds that it disproportionately interfered with free speech and assembly, and that former home secretary Yvette Cooper had breached her own process during proscription. The court of appeal’s decision means supporting the direct action group – which targets businesses complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza – will remain a crimnal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Palestine Action was proscribed under section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000 in July 2025, making it the first direct action group to be banned under UK terror legislation and categorised with the likes of Isis and Al Qaeda. Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori challenged the proscription via judicial review in a historic first. More than 3,000 people have been arrested for peacefully protesting the group’s proscription since it came into force – more than during the entire ‘war on terror’. Last week, four Palestine Action activists convicted of criminal damage at a facility owned by Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer, were sentenced as terrorists despite not being found guilty of a terrorism offence. This move was kept secret from the jury until after they delivered their verdict, and is the first time direct actionists have been sentenced as terrorists for non-violent criminal offences.

This World Cup is already a drag. 48 teams is a terrible idea, only benefiting the sponsors, FIFA's pockets, and Scotland. On paper, England v Croatia is probably the most competitive game yet, and that'll be almost a week into the tournament.
