When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

She is a disgusting bigot and opportunistic right-wing authoritarian ghoul. We will be a lot safer as a country the second she's turfed out of her seat and consigned to the history bin.

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

And this is why you never ever give them an inch.
Migrants deported for crimes > Reform suggesting fly tipping is enough.

Reform of ECHR > leaving ECHR.

Removing citizenship for dual national criminals > removing for a UK national only

They will never be satisfied

Israeli forces are minutes away from illegally intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla.

One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor.

The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.

The Labour Chancellor declares herself an eternal friend of a state committing a live-streamed genocide.

We are ruled by moral disgraces who are criminally liable for aiding and abetting one of the worst crimes of our age.

Nandy praises protesters from the past who were up for the fight

I've seen how this govt treats protesters peacefully holding placards that say "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action". Praising protesters from yesteryear while criminalising protesters today as terrorists

Crazy this would happen to one of the world’s oldest parties of labour after being taken over by a right-wing puppet directed by a right-wing advisor with right-wing politics who was mentored by a right-wing toady to large capital and oligarchical interests, all of whom pathologically hate the left.

Man arrested after fire at London asylum seekers' hotel The blaze is being treated as a hate crime by officers investigating.

This is what happens when your government joins in the rhetoric that presents people seeking asylum as a threat and says racist intimidators have legitimate concerns instead of roundly condemning it. Escalation

This is not born of concern for women. It is pure unadulterated hatred of trans women and men.

The New York Times has now published a document which sets out the government’s basis for the proscription. This is the “open” version of the MI5 assessment that has been placed before the courts in litigation challenging the proscription. The judges would also see a “closed” version with material not to be placed in the public domain. 


One hopes the “closed” version is a far more impressive document than the one published, which is a flimsy and unconvincing piece of work. The assessment even admits—twice—that most of the activity of Palestine Action cannot be called terrorism.  

The document overall reads as if it has been compiled backwards, intending to justify a conclusion that needed to be reached. If so, it will not be the first intelligence document to have been created in such a way.

The assessment relies on the group having caused “serious” property damage, which is the relevant statutory test. The problem here is that the spraying of paint and graffiti by the group does not meet the threshold of seriousness. 

The document also relies on “open source” estimates of the cost of damage which, if one looks at the cited sources, trace back to a claim which the police themselves put to arrested protesters in interview. As such there is a certain circularity: the state is relying on the state claiming the damage is serious.

Has the government overreached in using terrorism law against Palestine Action?

A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak

It is over for the genocide deniers.

Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide.

Those who supported Israel's onslaught:

You backed a genocide.

You will never scrub the shame away.
