Frankly amazing that the British judiciary doesn’t remember Diplock courts, extensive censorship, authoritarian police and army powers, state paid informers who were active combatants, and the collusion of state and loyalist paramilitaries in targeting civil rights activists. Mmmmm.

The ban on Palestine Action, now ruled unlawful, was described as "one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history." This ban was put in place by a Labour government and a PM who is a lawyer. #Corruption #Tyranny #Gaza #Abuse

The UK ban on Palestine Action is ruled unlawful in the High Court. Starmer and Cooper should now resign. They should be prosecuted for misconduct in public office. All those arrested and/or imprisoned because of this unlawful ban should be compensated. #Gaza #Palestine #StarmerOut

There is no plan, there won't be a turnaround, it won't all come right, there's no golden dawn waiting.

Starmer, Cooper & Lammy lied to fake up a case to proscribe Palestine Action. Many people were arrested, some spent time in prison, a few nearly died on hunger strike, their human rights violated. Shouldn't those three face prosecution? They shame our country.

The rhetoric around Starmer's "decency" is not matched by the reality of his actions. Don't be fooled. Starmer is very far from being " a decent man." A ruthless authoritarian, yes. A genocide denier, certainly. A self-serving serial liar, without doubt. #StarmerOut
