Banksy artwork of a judge clobbering a protestor with his gavel

A ghostly image left after the mural was scrubbed off the wall

What is more shocking?

1. Throwing soup on a glass protecting a Van Gogh’s painting

2. Destroying a Banksy mural

🤔

Destroying political art is on the slippery slope towards fascism. All of them have done it.

They may be saying they need to protect judges, but this isn’t the way.

The Terrorism Act 2000 specifically ensures that it is lawful to organise for the de-proscription of a group.

There should be no law in democracy that cannot be opposed. That is the very mark of democracy itself.

It appears that the web hosts for our campaign website have been contacted to suggest that we may be in breach of their T&Cs

There’s no breach - we’ve checked.

The impact of this is that 1000s of people are blocked from legal information to ensure their legal rights are upheld!

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating

My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

Fact check: Did an ocean current reverse? A report from a European news wire agency on the reversal of an important ocean current has sparked alarm online.

OH MY GOD, NO… 🙄

The current systems of the Southern Ocean did NOT reverse. Not even close.

This was all based on a b.s. press release — not a scientific paper — that is wildly, absurdly wrong.

Forests may look quite resilient to changing conditions if trees are still standing, but if they're not regenerating there'll be nothing to replace the old trees as they die. They are dying on their feet

And if they're not regenerating already, at 1.5C...
