Three men jailed for violent disorder outside Epping hotel housing asylum seekers
Stuart Williams, Martin Peagram, and Dean Smith are the first to be sentenced for violent disorder outside Epping's Bell Hotel.
3 men sentenced for Epping riots. Check out the judge's reasonable sentencing statement & sentences in thread below.
This is England. In N. Ireland, PSNI would have issued a 'do not intervene' notice, lifted 1 or 2 children as token arrests and these men would be given impunity by the state. [1/2]

Australian report says UK’s Cass review should not guide transgender healthcare

You are 100% correct re: Starmer having the wet Tory niche pretty well covered. If Tories harness stablity, but with the illusion of cheap giveaways to ordinary people to generate even a missplaced feel good factor, I think that's their electoral strategy for a win.

Badenoch and Mordaunt claiming on Kuennsberg yesterday that unions are antisemitic is the weaponising of a terror attack for political gain. Campaigning to end genocide and criticism of the actions amounting to ‘plausible genocide’ by the Israeli state is not antisemitism.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests
The move is not a ban on protests but
The labour government just doesn’t get it. The reason for the repeat protests is because they don’t listen to the will of the people. Stop Arming Israel, End the Genocide and the protests will stop.

PSNI Officers make rare appearance in London to assist with arrests at pro-palestine protest
Be very clear that this was about not only creating fear on English soil, but about 'blooding' officers from N. Ireland to commit mass arrest on Irish soil.

Paramilitaries a 'major issue' in some NI communities
Youth workers have said that paramilitary groups are "a major issue" in some communities in Northern Ireland, with young people suffering severe mental health issues, being forced into criminality or ...
Paramilitaries are a major issue. Department of Justice told a Stormont justice committee that they estimate 45% of young people in the North are impacted by paramilitaries.
This is what PSNI are facilitating because loyalist paramilitary groups don't present a threat to the state.

PSNI has insufficient resources to investigate dangerous offenders, chief warns
Jon Boutcher said the police in Northern Ireland was currently operating as a ‘skeleton’ service due to sustained budget cuts.
But PSNI claiim no resource to investigate serious crime & complain of 'budget cuts'. PSNI are simply a rotten force that co-exists quite happily within an ecosystem of rampant paramilitarism that they do nothing to dismantle.
The UN intervention should have been the end for Boutcher & Long. [2/2[

Sophie Ellis-Bextor on transphobia.

That fascist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was allowed to enter the holding area and insult and berate those members of the flotilla who had been kidnapped shows how depraved this regime is. He did the same with Palestinian prisoners recently whose plight is obviously much much worse.
