Protest groups come together 'peacefully' in Exeter city centre The police had issued an order giving powers to require the removal of face coverings.

The BBC here, reprinting a police press release. In reality, police officers unlawfully threatened antifascists with demands for personal details using powers under Exeter's Public Space Protection Order introduced to crack down on street drinking and "aggressive begging" www.bbc.com/news/article...

Delighted that Brighton will have two green MPs at the next election.

The arms industry is complicit in Andrew and his ilk's abuse of women and girls Andrew influenced the super rich through child rape and abuse to buy British weapons - and the arms industry actively facilitated him

Latest article on arms industry complicity in Andrew’s abuse of women and girls:

"That photo, the one with his arm around Virginia Giuffre, was broadly part of his government job – where he influenced elites through sex and good times to buy British weapons."

The only coverage on the Andrew Windsor story worth reading.

Every other media outlet bends over backwards to avoid mentioning that it was literally Andrew's job to 'entertain' despots to sell British weapons.

Trust Emily to get two assists from pressing!

The SCALP/Netpol report launches this evening in Glasgow

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰

New report says police used excessive restrictions to protect interests of arms firms during Palestine protests

It is as well.

Wigs only still exist to intimidate people that aren't posh and don't understand their fancy dress.

A wank rag would be a step up. At least it would have a practical use.

Netpol has updated and expanded our guidance on the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action, in response to the many questions we received. This includes fundraising for prisoners, criticising the ban and differences in the way offences are dealt with in Scotland netpol.org/2025/06/26/p...

You're right about the both sides. You wouldn't do both sides of racism, so don't do it with the anti-trans hate!

If you replace trans with another form of discrimination and you sound like you should be protesting outside a hotel...

Superb article. Needs to be said.

I think the policy for the Friend is more:

Letters page - everyone. Quakers for Israel etc.

Articles: sensible.

I haven't seen them do an article with anti-trans hate yet. Could be wrong.

Great to see you having a proper go.

Hope to see you supporting @weownit.org.uk!

Amazing pro-Palestine protests at the Vuelta today.

It sucks that my favourite sport is getting disrupted... but not as much as the genocide Israel is perpetrating.

Brilliant to see cycling paying the price for it's sport-washing. Bahrain, UAE & INEOS etc I hope you are next!

#Vuelta25

Almost as if trans rights is something that most people want?!?!

LETS GO!

Absolute standard behaviour.

I know someone who this happened to as well. Except his ex was more senior so he got the full dawn raid treatment.

This case shows the complaints don't work, courts don't work. Then the police get arsey when they are tried by the media.

REVEALED: DSEI, the UK's largest arms fair, have quietly removed Israel from the list of 'International Pavilions' on its website.

Israel was listed as exhibiting in April but was removed in July.

Blinne gonna get you government.

Amazing. Hopefully we can make it to @transpridebrighton.bsky.social too next year. Yunno, the original.

I am sure @brightonquakers.bsky.social would be keen to join in.

Not the biggest fan of the police?

Good at running shit?

Well now, we have something for you.

This morning had been extremely serious for the future of protest rights, but it's still really hard not to laugh at the respected lawyer who presented South Africa's case to the International Court of Justice talking about a new protest group called 'Yvette Cooper'

"Westminster continues to exist inside a bubble: one where fringe groups like ‘We Believe in Israel’ and loud partisan cranks like Lord Walney are heard... but where the anger and resentment across Britain about the massacre of children in Gaza, every night on our television screens, is ignored"

I would rather give my money to you than TNT by a factor a about a million.

All three of your an inspirational and actually have interesting things to say. As opposed to lots of cycling coverage that says dull things in a very excited way.

Cannot wait.

🚨BREAKING His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama confirms continued reincarnations and reaffirms that Tibetans will have the sole authority to recognise all future Dalai Lamas.

Quakers speak out against proposed terrorist proscription of Palestine Action Quakers in Britain have voiced deep concerns about the government’s plan to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.

We have deep concerns about government plans to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

Nonviolent protest, and even acts of vandalism, should not be labelled as terrorism. Civil disobedience has been a powerful force for positive social change.

Really depressing and really good. Wish Brighton Greens had had more policial nouse when they had more control of the council and rush the cycle lanes at the beginning of their term.

Andrew also pointed out that Mandela's views on Israel would mean that he would be prevented from joining the Labour party today.

Says it all really.

Want to know what it's like to be called a terrorist by the UK Government and then vindicated by history?

I asked former ANC MP @andrewfeinstein.bsky.social.

Don't think it will take as long to be prooved right this time @palaction.bsky.social.

How would you like MY MONEY?
