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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 β€˜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.

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.

In 2017, we broke into a BAE Systems airfield to stop jets from going to bomb Yemen.

Our lenient treatment exposes the @palaction.bsky.social ban for what it is: racist and politically motivated.

As of Monday showing this film could be illegal, if @palaction.bsky.social is proscribed.

It'd be TERRIBLE if someone in say, Ireland, starting hosting this film. Then people could watch it using a VPN.

Let's make sure this doesn't happen!

Love @palaction.bsky.social but us at @quaker.org.uk have been taking anti-militarist nonviolent direct action since the 1650s and have never once been proscribed as terrorists.

If they are terrorists surely we have got to be?

So far, members of the Netpol Lawyers Group have confirmed four appeals against conviction already, as a consequence of the government's defeat.

Word is the government is dropping its appeal against the court victory by @libertyhq.bsky.social over regulations unlawfully defining serious disruption as anything "more than minor". The state must now be forced to review hundreds of arrests and convictions of protesters made using this definition

The chair of the Undercover Policing Inquiry, John Mitting, is retiring before the inquiry completes its work, departing after an interim report. Its terms of reference were published a decade ago. The police have delayed, obfuscated and successfully kicked the scandal into the long grass
