This is Belfast! What an incredible turnout today in response to the shocking racism we have seen on our streets this week. Belfast stands together. Hate will never win. Solidarity will!

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

Journalist Janine di Giovanni: "If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, Europe calls it a war crime." "But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage. This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.
BREAKING: Judge Johnson has confirmed the Filton Four will be sentenced based on a 'terrorist connection'. This heart breaking news comes despite the protestors never being charged or convicted of terror offences or violent intent.

Several years ago we revealed the UK’s global military base involved no less than *145 sites in 42 countries*. National media never bothered to report it. Their coverage of “defence” spending, and military policy generally, is detached from reality. declassifieduk.org/revealed-…

EDITORIAL: Far right violence in Belfast shows why we need a mass anti-racist movement right now. Racism is used to divide the working class and stop us from winning real change. We must organise in our streets and workplaces to defeat these groups. Standing together is the only way to protect our communities and build a socialist future. #Belfast #AntiRacism #ClassUnity #MorningStar #Socialism #WorkingClass #NoPasaran

UK defence secretary John Healey has resigned after criticising the prime minister for not committing to more spending on war and weapons. The question now for Healey is why he didn’t resign over his involvement in the Gaza genocide: youtube.com/watch?v=EheodB0m…

Long before unionist fascists were scared by and "protested" against "immigrants" they were protesting against young, primary school 7/8/9 year old native Irish Catholic girls who they attacked with urine filled balloons, bags of human excrement, used condoms and blast bombs.
