I find it interesting that Trump wants to call in the National Guard in Portland and Chicago for THIS, but didn’t feel the need to call the National Guard on January 6th, 2021. Am I missing something? Is it me?

Yet on the other hand soon we will no longer be allowed to protest about Israeli genocide in the vicinity of British Jews in case we cause offence. And this despite the fact that conflating British Jews with Israel is already itself recognised as antisemitic. Bonkers.

The opening few bars of this opening track from one of the best British album of the time still send me shivers through my speakers, decades later. 1978. "I say the people of Handsworth. One hand wash the other. So they say"

Always remember that a protest without "disruption" is just a group of powerless people being laughed at by those with power.

The UK Government’s attempt to ban Palestine Action is a risky overreach that threatens to further quash the kinds of protest that protect rather than threaten democracy.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

They were cheered to the rafters for exactly this behaviour and much worse by the entire national press pack roaring in ecstatic unison, and that’s why the only people making any noise about it today are people like Michael, who are basically retired and don’t have to worry about being shushed.
