The continued dumbing down & opinionisation of BBC News continues apace. Second top piece on BBC News is Laura Kuenssberg offering her 'in depth' analysis on the state of Starmer & the UK Govt.

Police now arresting those holding signs. Cuffing pensioners, students. It is not unlawful to hold these signs outside a court. The 2024 case of Secretary General vs Trudi Warner (who was arrested yesterday) proved that in law. Read that judgment here:

Police are now attempting to move the sign-holders to a space away from the court across the dual-carriageway where they cannot be seen. Their signs: “Jurors have a right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience” This is a perfectly lawful protest. We won’t be moved.

The wording on these signs, is what is inscribed on the wall of the Old Bailey. UK government hopes to “illegally” take away the 300+year right of jurors to use their conscience when reaching a verdict. A judge mandated media blackout ensures public remains ignorant.
