How Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades ago. Read my latest article here: middleeasteye.net/opinion/ga…

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.

There are lots of people on here drinking the security services Kool Aid over the sentencing of the Filton Four. They believe the judge was right to overturn the jury's decision to convict four anti-genocide activists of criminal damage and make it a terrorism offence instead, overturning centuries of legal precedent. Why? Because, they claim, the four activists broke / smashed / shattered a police woman's spine. But that obviously can't be the explanation because three of the activists had nothing to do with that incident and yet they were convicted as terrorists by the judge anyway. Even Samuel Corner, the activist who was convicted over this incident (which left the police woman with a minor fracture, according to the medical authorities who testified), shouldn't have been sentenced as a terrorist for it because that is not what the jury, which heard the actual evidence, decided. The jury convicted Samuel Corner of grievous bodily harm *without intent*. The prosecution had charged him with GBH *with intent* because they needed that as his conviction to build a public mood in support of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. If Corner could be presented as having entered Israel's Elbit weapons factory with intent to commit violence, then the implication would be that the other activists were in on that plan – a conspiracy – and the government would be off the hook of violating fundamental legal norms by proscribing Palestine Action. By stripping out intent, the jury pulled the rug from under the government's feet. Judge Johnson's task was put the rug firmly back in place by riding roughshod over the jury's decision and sentencing them as terrorists anyway. The timing couldn't be more convenient. On Monday, the Appeal Court will be deciding on the government's appeal against the High Court declaring its proscription of Palestine Action unlawful. If you're peddling the "But they smashed the back of a police woman" line you've been fed by the Daily Mail and BBC, it's because that is exactly what the government needs you spouting as it upends our age-old rights to jury trials, as it stamps out an honourable tradition of direct action dating back to the Suffragettes and before, and as it gives itself cover for continuing complicity in a genocide. Stop being a cuck. Don't fall for this psy-op.

The judge who just sentenced Palestine activists as terrorists was previously paid to represent the interests of MI6 and the Ministry of Defence. declassifieduk.org/julian-as…

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

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.

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

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/…

Londoners are rightfully concerned that an event promoting land confiscation & destruction of homes is due to take place - so I put this question directly to the Mayor today.    I welcome his strong condemnation. But condemnation is not enough, this event must be cancelled.

The BBC has fed the public a diet of stories demanding increased defence spending, and a stream of warnings of an imminent threat from Russia. Such spending can happen only through deeper austerity cuts. Despite the propaganda blitz, a majority of Britons want public spending prioritised over more toys for the boys. That is reflected nowhere in the media coverage, as Des Freeman explains: "There are twenty stories from the past six months on the BBC’s page dedicated to ‘UK defence spending’. They draw on 71 different sources, of which not one is critical of an increase in defence spending... "The Trades Union Congress, representing 5.5 million workers, passed a motion at its 2025 conference to ‘reaffirm that our movement’s priority is welfare and wages, not weapons and war’. No broadcaster touched the story and both the Guardian and the Independent ignored it." More here: lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/june/wag…

Israel is the world’s greatest killer and I can’t find a single Western headline about it.

Defence secretary Healey authorised hundreds of UK spy flights for Israeli intelligence during a genocide. He was never seriously questioned on this let alone held to account, and now freely leaves office. The real issue here is our governance: one national media won’t tell.

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.

Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country. Time for him to pipe down.

Please, please do read this. It is extremely important, and utterly compelling.

WOW. AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS. This is very HARD TO WATCH.

Just in: A video from inside a court in occupied Jerusalem shows Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appearing via video link and attempting to speak with his attorney before Israeli court security blocked the screen and terminated the call, preventing journalists from filming the exchange or the video appearance. I listened carefully to what the attorney was saying to Dr. Abu Safiya. It appeared that Dr. Abu Safiya could not hear him. The attorney repeatedly stated that he could neither see nor hear Dr. Abu Safiya after his “captors turned off the camera.” He also informed him that some people were present in the courtroom to show their support and that they were waiting for the judge to arrive so that he could be brought back on screen before the court addressed the appeal. This is Israel’s democracy. Dr. Abu Safiya has been subjected to starvation, abuse, and cruel torture, and this latest development only adds to concerns about the conditions he has endured and the lack of public scrutiny surrounding his case.

Met police chief Sir Mark Rowley tries to tie Russia and Iran to the riots in Belfast. The same man tells us the marches against genocide, packed with Jews, are actually driven by Jew hatred. It's all establishment smoke and mirrors, regurgitated by the corporate media.
