🚨🚨 ANOTHER PROTEST - CHARLES AND THE ROYALS have been told that it's time to 'Stop the Reign' directly under the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Support for the royals is collapsing. They can't keep dodging accountability. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein

Mostly tourists, not royal fans.

πŸ‘€ Despite the Met trying to stop us, the royals have been confronted by protestors at the Trooping the Colour ceremony, demanding they answer questions about the cover-up of the Andrew scandal! #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein

The royals are facing increasing scandals and accusations, and the @metpoliceuk are implicated in those scandals. So they do all they can to diminish and disrupt anti monarchy protest. The protest went ahead and will continue until the monarchy is gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy
To ensure tomorrow’s Trooping the Colour passes off without serious disruption and with minimal disturbance to horses at the event, we have imposed conditions on those taking part in the Republic protest.

The @metpoliceuk removing our banner. They couldn’t give a lawful basis, just said it’s police property. They have no problem with union flags and bunting on the banners. Absolute joke. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Interesting they give pride and place to a statue of renowned racist and anti-Semite.

🚨 In more than 25 years of working on terrorism cases, I never thought I would see terrorism legislation used in a way that blurs the line between genuine national security concerns and the policing of political expression and protest. The sentencing of the Filton 4 raises profound questions about the direction of our justice system. Counter-terrorism laws exist to protect the public from serious threats, not to chill political dissent, including direct action protest. If we are not careful, we risk setting a dangerous precedent, one that many will view as driven not by principle, but by a desire to shield Israel from criticism. I strongly oppose what happened in this case today.
🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case. It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them. Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future. The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end. Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

BREAKING: Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled that the Filton 4 will be sentenced as terrorists – even though two juries refused to convict them of violence charges over their efforts to disable an Israeli factory in the UK making killer drones for use in Gaza. They were found guilty of a minor charge of criminal damage. Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It's a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain. Thousands of legal professionals complained about Johnson's clear abuses of legal procedures to help the government's case for proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Johnson has now proved this was always a show trial. I explain how he rigged the two trials here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…

Direct action has always been a feature of protests, but the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred - and this confusion will leave many people too afraid to stand up for what they believe in Read our full statement here libertyhumanrights.org.uk/is…

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
