I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England, watching in horror as the world descends into a potentially unimaginable abyss at the hands of a small cabal of equally elderly (mostly) white men! I grieve for my children & grandchildren who will inherit a planet I’ve been helping, albeit minutely, to destroy! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Palestine Action hunger striker Amu Gib to stand in local elections while in prison”
by Ricky And Council Estate Media on Substack
@uk_politics
“Amu Gib, a 30-year-old activist affiliated with Palestine Action, has been selected by Islington Community Independents to stand in the local elections. This news is particularly striking given that Gib is currently on remand, awaiting trial. A victory for Gib would be a significant rebuke to Keir Starmer, emphasising he is out of touch, especially regarding the proscription of Palestine Action”

“Breaking: fears of stitch-up as judges say [UK Home Secretary] Mahmood can appeal Palestine Action unbanning”
by Skwawkbox with The Canary
@uk_politics
@thecanaryuk@independent-media.co.uk
@UKLabour@mastodon.cloud
“On 13 February, three High Court judges humiliated the Starmer government by declaring the regime’s terrorist ban on anti-genocide group Palestine Action unlawful.
However, the judges allowed the Home Office time to prepare arguments for an appeal against the finding — and the very narrow grounds on which the judges declared the ban unlawful made legal experts fearful that the judgment was constructed to be overturned on appeal”

“Palestine Action Victory Vindicates Direct Action & Breaking Genocidal & Immoral Laws”
by veteran UK socialist & anti-Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein in his latest blogpost
@uk_politics
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
“However we should not be complacent. The decision is extremely problematic. The arguments that the three judges – Dames Victoria Sharp & Karen Steyn & Jonathan Swift - the most reactionary, pro-Zionist and security minded of the High Court, based their decision on, are extremely feeble and in places obscure and contradictory”

Resign Cooper.
Your judgement is suspect.
#PalestineAction's proscription has been ruled unlawful.

The UK is letting the Palestine Action prisoners, who are imprisoned for disrupting the arms industry that murders children, to die in their prison cells.
Free the Palestine Action prisoners!
PS. I grew up with Bobby Sands as one of my heroes, I placed a flower on his grave when I was living in Ireland.

This is also what Yvette Cooper, when she was UK Home Secretary, said about #PalestineAction. If you knew the secret stuff I know, you'd agree with me that they're terrorists. It's the cheapest and basest way for a politician to malign someone, and a clear sign of a flailing, undemocratic state.

Report: UN Experts Express Alarm Over UK Neglect of Filton hunger strikers:
* reported delays in accessing medical care

So according to the UK government, Greta Thunberg is now a dangerous terrorist.
I'm beginning to think the UK government may have lost its moral compass.

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.

This is one of the two corrupt Lords exposed as taking cash for questions, or in other words CORRUPTION.
Isn't about time we threw American meddling out of our politics? They do not mean us well, only Traitors to the nation will side with the Trump regime....seeing as some are talking about Treason and Sedition.
