It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s

Again: a suffragette threw an axe at Herbert Asquith
The Lady Chief Justice said proscription of Palestine Action “struck a fair balance” and that PA is not a peaceful civil disobedience group like the Suffragettes

Jesus christ what an absolute shit show. Our judiciary is not only deeply reactionary and authoritarian but also just stupid. In no conceivable sense were the Suffragettes more peaceful than PA

You either think people should be burned out of their homes because of the colour of their skin or you don't. There is no third position

Nazi salute at Glasgow far-right protest today. Feels absurd to keep posting proof that these rallies initiated by Nazis are full of Nazis. Nobody really believes these violent men beating up black people on the street and marching on mosques are “concerned mums & dads”

If people are to be sentenced as terrorists - they should first be charged with & found guilty of terrorism?
Please RT this until this is the case.
Thank you.

Israel just kidnapped a 20yr old Palestinian student, taking her hostage. She won’t be called a hostage & she won’t be reported on in the US bc she’s Palestinian.
Had Palestinian forces took an Israeli civilian hostage — would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

"There are roughly 60-80 times more Blacks in South Africa than there are whites in the ENTIRE continent of Africa outside South Africa. But yes, 'apartheid'."
See how you sound Zac? Meanwhile, here's Human Rights Watch's report on apartheid in Israel:

Anyone who cares about our civil liberties should be alarmed about the outcome today.
Years of imprisonment and sentenced as terrorists — with 15 years on license — after no charges or convictions of terrorism.
All this while the UK continues to send arms to a state that is committing the gravest of crimes against humanity.

Four of the Palestine Action protestors have been convicted by jury of criminal damage.
At no point was it put to the jury that the judge may sentence them as terrorists.
This is unprecedented move and could set a further dangerous precedent for future cases relating to protests.

🚨 French authorities have confirmed Israeli interference in May's Scottish elections.
Will @YvetteCooperMP follow France's lead and summon the Israeli ambassador? Or will she continue Labour's tradition of letting them away with absolutely anything?

Why did nobody riot when a guy cut his girlfriend’s head off in East Kilbride…or when a young boy was stabbed to death on Irvine beach? It doesn’t tick the box some need for outrage.

Who paid for this Israeli firm to interfere in the Scottish Parliament elections a month ago? Where is the Scottish press on this?
Surely this is a bigger story than all the tittle tattle they seem obsessed by. reuters.com/world/israeli-fi…

This doesn’t seem to have filtered into Scottish media yet, but raises a lot of questions about external influence operations in democratic societies. BlackCore a well known player in this field. We need a better response than just outrage and fury. reuters.com/world/israeli-fi…

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow.
This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland.
I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴

That same mosque, on the night of the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy, opened its doors and gave shelter, food, water and medical attention to the survivors.
They're the real Glasgow, not this rabble of racist thugs.
