WATCH - Trudi Warner arrested, handcuffed, and carried for holding a placard with the law written on it outside Woolwich Crown Court. “There’s a High Court Ruling about this law” Trudi ought to know, because the case was “the Secretary General vs Trudi Warner”, and Trudi won.

He knew that UK-produced weapons were being used to kill civilians in occupied Palestine. He knew that RAF planes were used to gather intelligence to help the IDF commit war crimes. He knew that supporting the USA in attacks on Iran was never “defensive”. Starmer is a liar.

It’s not looking good for wacky Walney’s laughable proposal to designate protest groups as “terrorist-lite”. Even the increasingly authoritarian front bench are rejecting it. Lord Walney (John Woodcock) is a lobbyist for the Israel arms and oil trades, posing as ‘independent’.

One officer who unlawfully arrested a woman at yesterday’s Lift The Ban vigil put these fake notes into an evidence bag. Another officer apparently had to point out that they weren’t real currency or evidence of any wrongdoing. The whole thing is absurd. EveryoneDay.uk

Starmer is weeding out opposition so that he can try to end your democratic right to trial by a jury of your peers. Make no mistake, this is because juries regularly find people of conscience not-guilty in protest trials. Labour is captured by corporations. 🖼️ Allan Cavanagh
