The correct way to understand UK and US politics is that predatory capitalism has won every election since the late 70's and it is the people who lost.

In the UK if you honestly express favourable views about activist groups the government dislikes loyalty squads take you to the gulag for cognitive recalibration. Inquisitors often ask people if they support dissidents to test their mindless loyalty to the regime

🚨⚽🇮🇷 BREAKING —
Iranian World Cup Star Taremi:
“Well, since no one asked a football question, we are playing against a good team from New Zealand. I hope it’s a very good game.
Sorry, it was just political. You have to go to another city for this political press conference.”

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."
The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.
Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.
The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

Today’s ruling to uphold the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action is a travesty of justice.
One by one, the very foundations of our democracy are being destroyed — all to oil the wheels of British complicity in genocide.
Our government has participated in the mass murder of Palestinians. That is the real crime, and we must bring about justice.

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.

The Court of Appeal says Palestine Action “overtly promotes unlawful violence”, defined as “destroying property.”
Israel’s backers “overtly promote unlawful violence” - killing tens of thousands in a genocide.
Britain prosecutes the protesters. It arms the killers

not only eye wateringly delusional but actively dangerous. reform mps are brazenly seeking to fan the flames of unrest and division that has seen race riots across these islands for political gain.

Former Conservative home secretary and now Reform MP, Suella Braverman, explains why her party wants to get rid of the Equality Act.

“The judgment was handed down within minutes, indicating Judge Johnson had already made his mind up before the hearing had begun.”
It’s a stitch-up.

I spent all day in Woolwich Crown Court yesterday for the Filton activists' sentencing hearing with my colleague @daniaakkad.
The court heard that the Terrorism Act was never intended to cover direct action protest.
It heard that all of the defendants had been cleared of violent intent and sentencing them as terrorists would mark a historic first for charges of criminal damage.
It heard that the Suffragettes, who did "a bit of smashing themselves", would have been labelled as terrorists but have now been vindicated by history.
It heard the activists' goal was to stop the supply chain of drones and weaponry to Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza.
It heard that attaching a terrorism connection to a case without it ever being heard by a jury was unconstitutional and posed a threat to the criminal justice system itself.
It heard that the "terrorism connection" has been disproportionately used against minority groups and those advocating for them while not being used for neo-Nazis and white supremacists, including the man who killed Jo Cox MP.
It heard that the law has been reinterpreted since the action took place, meaning the activists could have had no idea that what they did could have been caught up in terrorism laws at the time of the protest.
It heard that the prosecution submitted key evidence just eight days before the hearing, giving the defence no time to review it or even discuss it with their clients.
Despite all of this, Judge Jeremy Johnson, who has already tried to refer the defence's lead barrister for contempt of court and been forced to apologise for it, sentenced the defendants as terrorists.
The judgment was handed down within minutes, indicating Judge Johnson had already made his mind up before the hearing had begun.
Being in court yesterday felt akin to witnessing a colonial crime: punishing activists with terrorism offences in order to set a precedent that taking direct action to stop a UK-backed genocide will not be tolerated.

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.
