🚨 BREAKING: MARCUS WINS DEPORTATION APPEAL

Marcus Decker, who was facing deportation after being handed a prison sentence over 2 years for climbing the QEII Bridge in 2022 with Morgan Trowland, has won his appeal against the deportation order.
Legal Fees To Fight Marcus's Deportation
My partner Marcus is being threatened with deportation after an act of peaceful protest against the government's inaction on the climate crisis. He was just trying to sound the alarm.

Old Maggie in Downing Street calling the tune whist the right wing press danced to it. Always been the same, present government needs to break the routine and show some b*lls.

I always get the sense Brandt’s work is designed to be evocative as much as documentary - I don’t get all the hand wringing.. as an aside bought a house last year with no windows to one elevation - it’s on a slope and the windowless wall is North facing (and now has windows 😀)

Yes and also that the BBC is blind to the likely impact of its platforming of populists on the BBC’s own future. If elected then Farage will take a sledgehammer to it.

Very true

The BBC is and always has been institutionally biased in favour of privilege and the status quo, it’s in the DNA of any state broadcaster which exists at the whim of politicians. You just have to look at the makeup of the Board there. People should stop pretending the BBC is neutral, that is a myth.

songs which upset right wing politicians, like God Save the Queen in 1977, to the blatantly misleading reporting on the miners’ strike, to not reporting at all on major protests which challenge the status quo, to its platforming of Farage and its cowardice when it comes to Tory corruption.

I’m not quite sure what the dummy on the right is up to.
