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.
Smashing up property and attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer is not “protest” It’s violence Zack Polanski is a disgrace. Anyone voting Green is supporting this nonsense

Last year Mr Justice Johnson granted an early release from jail for far-right Zionist extremist, Tommy Robinson. But he's just sentenced 4 Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even tho they weren't prosecuted for terrorism. Conflict of interest? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0g…

'Handouts to handups’ The language of the Tories. A Labour MP. Apparently a leadership candidate. While they refuse to end handouts to the super rich.
Carns is asked where the extra £ for defence should come from. ".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups" Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners

This is an affront to British justice & democracy. This is what Starmer, Lammy & Cooper have created in Britain: a system that represents Netanyahu & Elbit Systems rather than the interests of the British people, the vast majority of whom want to stop arms sales to Israel. The right to protest is dead, the right to an open & honest trial is dead. The right to be on the side of peace & human decency rather than genocide, is dead

Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of. Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time. A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.

Bari Weiss took over CBS News & fired every reporter holding power to account. Fellow journalists could stand in solidarity with colleagues. Instead Mandelson’s pal Philips fills new role of one so self important you overlook their slavish devotion to the status quo .
CBS News to hire Sky News presenter Trevor Phillips as global correspondent British journalist to become one of most prominent appointments made by embattled editor-in-chief Bari Weiss theguardian.com/media/2026/j…

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Sky News: UK is world's largest net importer of jet fuel. No mention of Grangemouth, closed 2yrs ago which produced jet fuel for across the UK. Grangemouth: the calculated de-industrialisation of Scotland. Westminster: cutting off its Albion nose to spite its Caledonian face.🤦

Any Irish person with an ounce of historic memory will view the scenes in Belfast last night - loyalist pogroms, burning families out of their homes - with utter disgust, the only people cheering it on are the worst reactionary elements in the US, Britain and further afield

Peter Sellers was never safe from Cato, not even on the Russell Harty show!
“Beware of Japanese waitresses bearing fortune cookies”, especially in Japanese restaurants... where they don’t serve fortune cookies. Peter Sellers rarely broke the fourth wall as Clouseau, but he does in The Return of the Pink Panther. The whole thing is typically hilarious 🤣

32 years ago today: the controversial British Chinook crash June 2 1994: a RAF Chinook [Registration “ZD576”] crashes in Strathclyde (Scotland). Flying under heavy fog, the helicopter impacted the Mull of Kintyre. All 29 aboard died in the RAF´s 4th worst peacetime disaster. Among the passengers were almost all the United Kingdom's senior Northern Ireland intelligence experts, which fueled speculations of a terrorist attack. Early inquiries pointed to pilot actions, but these were later cleared, with findings showing evidence of mechanical failure, as detailed below. In 1995, an RAF board of inquiry concluded that the exact cause of the accident could not be determined. This finding was overturned by two senior reviewing officers, who ruled that the pilots were grossly negligent for flying too fast and too low in dense fog. The decision proved highly controversial, given known irregularities and technical issues with the new Chinook HC2 variant, as well as pre-crash problems with the specific “ZD576” airframe. A 2001 parliamentary inquiry declared the gross negligence verdict unjustified. In 2011, an independent review cleared the crew of negligence and confirmed that the RAF had falsely declared the aircraft compliant with airworthiness regulations.
