The suffragettes *blew up* Lloyd George’s house! An indictment on how liberals remember history.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

In a disastrous ruling, the Court of Appeal in London has overruled the High Court and upheld the government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Defining a protest group as terrorists has created an absurd situation where thousands of people have been arrested for holding up signs. Learn more:

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties. This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.
Replying to @ZackPolanski
Do you support the Palestine Action group?

People who've been plugging away, doing everything they can to support Green Party values, and now they're elected."

Today with very brave campaigners, outside Court, waiting for the ruling that eventually went against us; the judges upheld the Govt's appeal. We now have a very repressive law where the Home Sec can spot *future* crime and proscribe campaign groups before they become terrorists.

This is absolutely insane. The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action. They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries. They killed five people! Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

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

The case for Labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger. 99% of us are paying, in total, 40% to 50% tax on our incomes, billionaires are paying 25% at most. 2% levy on fortunes above £100m could begin to reverse decades of rising inequality theguardian.com/politics/202…

The public overwhelmingly want water and energy in public ownership. Only the Green candidate, in Makerfield, Sarah Wakefield is pledging this.
The Makerfield by-election could decide the next prime minister. All candidates must tell the public: Will we continue 40 years of privatisation? OR will we take ownership of life's essentials? Ask the Makerfield candidates to take our Makerfield pledge: vist.ly/57s7c
