It seems pretty insane that we've had two years now of ongoing pogroms, people trying to burn hotels down, obstructing ports and now shutting down lifeboats and none of their organisations have been prescribed. Just the grannies holding signs.

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.
Borneo’s orangutans, Assam’s elephants — wildlife across the world is fighting a losing battle against bulldozers, greed, and habitat destruction. They may fall, but their struggle will remain a painful reminder of humanity’s cruelty towards the planet.

A sikh woman was stabbed to death as she lay sleeping with her new horn baby. 44yo Daniel Sean James has been arrested and charged. No MSM or politician is talking about this Let me repeat- as she lay sleeping with her new born baby.

Greta Thunberg: “It is shameful that those who are protesting against genocide are being repressed, while the real war criminals walk free and get away with mass slaughtering... Free Palestine, the fight will not stop.."

Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do. She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill. She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
A woman was upskirted at a music festival. Police told her it wasn't illegal. Eighteen months later she had changed the law.

After Palestine protest at Appeal Court, I went for a coffee in Pret, far up the road in The Strand As I got my coffee, I turned to find myself surrounded by police. They demanded I show my placard & filmed it My placard is not unlawful. This was intimidation. POLICE STATE!

All pretence cast aside. A vicious attack on the Anti-Zionist movement by the British state acting for the Zionist regime in defence of genocide. Shameful. #FreeTheFilton4

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

If people are to be sentenced as terrorists - they should first be charged with & found guilty of terrorism? Please RT this until this is the case. Thank you.
