Hunger Strikes and Court Cases 48


Fighting the proscription of Palestine Action has become more urgent as eight brave activists enter the crucial period of their hunger strike.

12 January has finally been set for the court hearing on holding a Scottish judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action.

I am frankly terrified for the hunger strikers.

  • Qesser Zuhrah
  • Amu Gib
  • Heba Muraisi
  • Jon Cink
  • Teuta Hoxha
  • Kamran Ahmed
  • Muhammad Umer Khalid
  • Lewie Chiaramello (a diabetic so on modified hunger strike or he would die very rapidly).

The Starmer government is quite prepared to let them die: to emphasise devotion to Israel, to show their Zionist donors they are earning their money, and to reinforce the hardline macho image they believe appeals to Reform voters.

Indeed I have no doubt that Starmer, Mahmood, Lammy and Cooper hope for their deaths as a political positive; just as Thatcher thought she would win plaudits for facing down IRA hunger strikers.

It is important to state that none of the hunger striking prisoners has been convicted of anything – all are on remand – and none of them was in any way involved in the incident in which a policewoman was allegedly injured.

The coordinated response from government and other Zionist troll farms and stenographers is that none of the hunger strikers deserve sympathy as “a policewoman was hit by a sledgehammer”.

It remains astonishing to me that this assertion is constantly and stridently made by the state and its myriad acolytes, despite the rules against prejudicing a jury trial. This stance ignores the detailed accounts of the trial itself which paint a far more complex picture.

As well as the real danger to the hunger strikers, there are thousands of entirely peaceful protestors facing terrorism charges simply for speech. These are life-changing, bringing not just jail sentences but loss of employment, debanking and travel restrictions.

All this while the genocide of Palestinians continues, with appalling conditions in Gaza, stringent restrictions on aid (which is still at less than half the required levels), and continued Israeli bombing – despite the “ceasefire”.

The judicial review of Palestine Action in the High Court of England and Wales appears to have been “fixed”. The last-minute change of judges – including the total removal of the original judge from the panel – and the conduct of the review, have left little room for optimism.

My own most striking impression from that judicial review is the difference in how the judges treated the counsel for Huda Ammori and the counsel for the UK government.

Counsel for Huda Ammori, Raza Husain KC, was treated with impatience and at times disdain. That is difficult to quantify, but one thing that could indeed be measured was this:

Every time Raza Husain KC referred the judges to a passage in a past judgment or other quoted authority, they quickly skated over it and moved on, frequently with a phrase like “Yes, we have seen it” or “We are familiar with that”.

Every time James Eadie KC for the government referred the judges to a written authority, they ostentatiously physically found it in their bundle and took time to peruse it, on one occasion taking over a minute to demonstrate they were reading and absorbing at the government’s direction, before Eadie moved on.

The contrast was stark. Not just once, but over and over.

My favourite moment in the English judicial review was when Raza Hussain quoted the Proscription Advisory Committee’s recommendation to Yvette Cooper that Palestine Action should be proscribed because “Palestine Action kept hiring good lawyers” and defendants kept being acquitted as it was difficult to prove guilt to the criminal standard.

Yes, they really did say that. Palestine Action should be proscribed because it was being found by juries not to be criminal.

By proscribing Palestine Action, this makes it a criminal offence of strict liability to support it, whether or not you were doing anything that a jury would have found criminal before the proscription.

Raza Hussain KC described this as “Not the Proscription Advisory Committee’s finest hour”. I thought much more could have been made of it, but a feature of the English judicial review – and I think a mistake – is that there was no playing to the gallery of public opinion.

It was conducted as a legal conversation between the lawyers and the judges, often incomprehensible to the onlooker because it was based on documents to which the public do not have access. Yet there is an extremely concerned public looking on.

The demands of the hunger strikers largely refer to the appalling prison conditions in which they are kept, despite the fact that none of them have been convicted and none of them have previous convictions, or can reasonably be said to present a danger to the public, or be a particular flight risk.

  • Immediate bail/release on bail for the remand prisoners (many held longer than standard limits).
  • The right to a fair trial, including access to all relevant documents and an end to demonization or “terrorist connection” claims.
  • An end to prison censorship/restrictions on communications (e.g., blocking letters, phone calls, and books).
  • De-proscription (lifting the ban) on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.
  • Shutdown of Elbit Systems’ UK sites (Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, accused of supplying weapons used in Gaza).

On right to a fair trial, it is worth noting that there is huge evidence of outside influence on the prosecutions, and there are communications between the police and prosecutorial authorities on the one hand, and Elbit, the Israeli Embassy, and various Zionist groups on the other, which have either not been released to the defence, or have only been released in very redacted form.

In the day of the Filton trial which I attended, I found the parts the jury was not allowed to know (when they were sent out) particularly interesting. I cannot tell you more than that until the trial is over.

We can help lift the proscription of Palestine Action if we win the judicial review in Scotland. We have finally been given a court date of 12 January at 9:30am in Edinburgh.

This hearing is to decide whether there will be a judicial review. It will look at only two points.

Firstly, whether I as an individual have sufficient connection to Palestine Action, or have my rights particularly infringed by the proscription, in order to have standing in the case.

The UK Government is arguing that I have no connection to Palestine Action. (I wish they would tell their police that!!)

We will however also be relying on the Supreme Court judgment in Walton vs Scottish ministers, which states that it “is sufficient that the applicant has a genuine concern about the legality of the act or decision, and that the issues raised are of general public importance”.

The second ground to be heard is whether there can be a separate judicial review in Scotland when there is already one in the High Court of England and Wales.

Our view is that the principle has already been established in the Joanna Cherry and Gina Miller cases, where judicial reviews in London and Edinburgh came to opposing decisions on the legality of Boris Johnson’s prorogation of parliament.

I am resident in Scotland, where the High Court of England and Wales has no jurisdiction. If my rights are infringed I am entitled, even within the United Kingdom, to the protection of my own courts of my own nation in first instance.

Scots law is different. Its intellectual basis and maxims are different. There is a reason why lawyers legally qualified to plead in courts in England and Wales are not automatically qualified to appear in Scotland; and vice versa. The Court of Session is not inferior to the High Court.

We intend to submit substantive evidence of the oppression of numerous individuals in Scotland as a result of the proscription.

We will need the maximum public support inside and outside the court of session at Parliament House, Edinburgh on 12 January from 9am.

Unfortunately we will not be able to go ahead if we do not raise sufficient funds. The crowdfunder has got us into court, but needs to supercharge to get us further. Please do help:

I know these are the most difficult of times. But that is why we have to keep fighting. The sums needed to mount a successful legal challenge to the power of the state can be eye-watering.

    • Stevie Boy

      The problem is that there are no repercussions for these MPs. They can do what they want, say what they want and take money from the enemies of the UK and democracy (Israel). They can retire at night after a hard day’s grifting to their cosy piles or second homes without a care in the world.
      Repercussions would focus their evil little minds, but there are none.

      • zoot

        Nope, none whatsoever. On the contrary, they know that the louder they laugh the more respectable and reliable they will be considered to be, both by Parliament and the media.

      • Tom Welsh

        There certainly were repercussions for Nathan Gill. He got 10 1/2 years in the slammer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yd878ejqko

        What, exactly, is the difference? If, as I saw alleged today, Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich said, “International law does not apply to Jews. That’s the difference between the chosen people and the others”… does British law apply to Jews?

          • Alyson

            Gill was a Senedd MP and the Welsh dismissed their former Senedd leader for accepting a donation from a lobbyist. Tidy, see?

        • Crispa

          Starmer seems to forget Roman Abramovich is a Jew with Israeli citizenship (as well as Russian and Portuguese), known to donate lots of money to the Israel settler movement. Bit anti – semitic forcing him to give his money away to Ukraine. He seems happy to see Abramovich in court nevertheless.

        • Harry Law

          “That should send a strong message to any elected official or anyone in an official capacity who is asked to act on behalf of another government and paid money to do so.” So it was said about Gill when he was sentenced.
          What Gill did was small potatoes to what Israeli Donors like Trevor Chinn and others have contributed to the corruption of Labour’s front bench in their service of Israel, all dismissed later as an “administrative error.
          “At the centre of the controversy is Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer’s powerful chief of staff, and his long-time association with billionaire businessman Trevor Chinn. Documents and leaks show that between 2017 and 2020, McSweeney oversaw Labour Together, a factional project that secretly accepted more than £730,000 (around $930,000) in undeclared donations, allegedly in breach of electoral law.
          Much of this money is said to have come from Chinn, a figure whose involvement in Labour politics has for decades been bound up with the defence of Israel and the advancement of Zionist networks inside the party.
          An investigation by Jody McIntyre, who stood as a candidate for the Workers Party in the last general election, shows how deeply enmeshed Chinn became with McSweeney’s project. McSweeney reportedly concealed donations “to protect Trevor” from scrutiny, according to McIntyre’s investigation. Labour Together, however, later dismissed the failure to declare the funds as an “administrative error,” a line advised by solicitor Gerald Shamash, another Labour figure with a record of blocking debates on sanctions against Israel”. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250926-how-pro-israel-money-captured-starmers-labour/

  • Linda Gillies

    I have just reread your blog “Judicial Malfeasance and Palestine Action 105.” Posted last month detailing the record and background of the replacement judges.
    Disgusting followed by unbelievable are the first words springing to mind. But, of course nowadays in our increasingly corrupt political system “par for the course” would be a more appropriate phrase.
    So much for an independent justiciary!

  • Townsman

    It remains astonishing to me that this assertion is constantly and stridently made by the state and its myriad acolytes, despite the rules against prejudicing a jury trial.

    Astonishing?! It shouldn’t be. I thought you followed the news.
    Repeating lies until almost everyone believes them is the standard strategy of the Zionists. “The barbaric terrorism of 7 October started the Gaza war”, ignoring the far more barbaric terrorism perpetrated by the IDF over the past 75 years. “Hamas is a terrorist organisation”, believed by probably 98% of the UK’s population. “The media are biased against Israel”, when most mainstream media are either owned of controlled by Zionists. To see more examples, just go to a couple of MSM websites. Or look at the weaponisation of the term “antisemitism” (the only majority-Semitic population in the land claimed by Israel is the Palestinians). And on and on and on ….

    • Stevie Boy

      And, the prejudice is reinforced by the Australian “atrocity”. The MSM is full of vomit inducing hype about the poor old Jews being persecuted yet again. No one asks why these things happen, Gaza has no relevance whatsoever.
      The zionists are rubbing their hands and thanking the shooters for providing them with more legitimacy for their perverse causes, this unfortunately will impact the hunger strikers and the Filton case.

  • Stevie Boy

    “Your Party MP Zarah Sultana rushed in the early hours of the morning of Wednesday, 17 December, to HMP Bronzefield. It was because one of the Filton 24 hunger strike prisoners was at serious risk of death – and the prison was refusing to call an ambulance.”
    https://www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025/12/17/zarah-sultana-hunger-strike-prisoner/
    – Qesser Zuhrah is now on the 46th day of her hunger strike.
    – Two of those refusing food are on day 45 of their protest
    – and another is on day 44.
    Martin Hurson died after 46 days, becoming the sixth of 10 IRA hunger strikers to die in 1982
    “none of the hunger striking prisoners has been convicted of anything”

    • Brian Red

      Interestingly Bronzefield is near some major roads…

      Imagine if something happened…

      No-one who opposes the inhumanity meted out in Bronzefield should be unaware of the role of Sodexo (or the signing of the contract with Sodexo by criminals in the government).

  • Tom Welsh

    I am a Reform voter, and I believe that Israel should never have existed – and now should be dissolved as soon as possible. I have no ideological, religious, or racial axe to grind. I merely want justice to prevail.

    • Cobblers

      “I believe that Israel should never have existed – and now should be dissolved as soon as possible.”
      I also believe israel is a zionist, terrorist, colonial project.

      • Tom Welsh

        Yes, Cobblers – that’s why I believe it should never have existed and now should be dissolved.

        On the face of it, to establish a colony from scratch, seeking to eject the indigenous people or kill them if they refuse to leave would be bad enough. To do so in 1948, immediately after the foundation of the UN, was worse.

        Yet the “civilised” world looked on calmly. To the Jews, nothing could be forbidden; not could they be accused, let alone convicted, of any crime.

        • Ewan2

          Read Einstein’s letter to the NY Times 1948. A letter everyone has conveniently forgotten.

          British politicians seen to forget 1948 was when Jewish terrorist targeted British soldiers, which had the knock-on advantage of jews in the UK getting problems because of the attacks on Britons and others.

          • Tom Welsh

            I think you will find that Jewish terrorism in Palestine began long before WW2. It ramped up after 1945 because the British government was distracted (also bankrupt and thus dependent on the USA), the League of Nations had mandated Britain to govern Palestine, and therefore it was necessary to drive the British out so the Zionists could have a free hand. Rich Jewish patrons in the USA and elsewhere provided all the money the Zionists could use.

            They had also cleverly exploited WW2 to join the British forces, learn to fight, and acquire lots of weapons ranging from rifles to fighter aircraft.

            The fundamental cause of the genocide was that, after the collapse of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, there was no official government in Palestine. It became a power vacuum, temporarily administered by the British. The Zionists took the opportunity to swarm in, arm themselves, and fill the power vacuum.

            It was an open goal.

          • Luis Cunha da Silva

            It is a little known fact – and certainly not one advertised by either the UK, Poland or Israel – that pre-WW2 Poland provided military training and arms to Polish Zionists who wished to emigrate to Palestine. What they did once there was not of particular concern to the Polish government. The aim was, of course, not the “noble” one of giving Jews a homeland but rather to encourage Jews – whose presence in Poland was felt to be too numerous and some of whom were proving a political nuisance – to leave the country.
            Another little known fact is that the Jews had total air superiority in 1948/49 (cf the effects of Italian air supremacy when attacking Abyssinia…) . Their aeroplanes were British Spitfires, supplied to them by…..the government of Czechoslovakia (another WW2 ally of Britain)!

        • Stevie Boy

          As I’m sure you’re aware Tom ?. Reform is a zionist loving, genocide supporter who certainly won’t be offending or curtailing Israel’s activities.

      • Brian Red

        Pretty hard for anyone serious to deny that “Israel” is a colonial project…

        The hasbara rebuttal is (on top of “Goys like you always hate the Jews”, of course) is “our ancestors were there 2000 years ago”. Which is hardly an argument that stands up anywhere that people value intellectual honesty even only a wee bit.

    • np

      As I understand it, the state of Israel has no valid legal foundation – it was simply declared to be a state by the Zionist terrorists, without any UN stamp of approval. It also has no defined borders – typically a prerequisite for a modern state.

      These historical facts have been pointed out by Colonel Jacques Baud, the Swiss former intelligence officer. On Monday, the EU added him to its list of sanctionned individuals who are barred from entry to the EU and whose assets inn the EU have been frozen – both major problems for Baud who has been living in Brussels.

      • Colin Davis

        UN Resolution 181 (founding of Israel) states:

        No expropriation of land owned by an Arab in the Jewish State (by a Jew in the Arab State)(4) shall be allowed except for public purposes. In all cases of expropriation full compensation as fixed by the Supreme Court shall be paid previous to dispossession.

      • M.J.

        The State of Israel was recognised as a de facto authority by the United States on its declaration of independence on 14th May, 1948; it was recognised fully de jure by the United States on 31st January, 1949 and admitted to the United Nations on May 11th, 1949. But that does not exempt it from international sanctions for the crimes of apartheid and genocide, nor restitution for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine (as described in Ilan Pappé’s book) by enabling the return of all Palestinian refugees with proper compensation for all properties taken over.

        Col Jacques Baud was sanctioned by the EU for supporting Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine. Serves him right. Слава Україніé

        • Bayard

          Col Jaques Baud is Swiss. Switzerland is not in the EU. He was sanctioned by the EU for “supporting”* Russia, which is not in the EU, in its war against Ukraine which is also not in the EU.
          Does that not strike you as overreach? If the the EU is going to be the world’s policeman, who in Israel has the EU sanctioned for its war of aggression against Palestine?
          * This is, presumably, the new meaning of “support”, “not oppose”.

          • M.J.

            You make a valid point about the danger of being an international policeman (as America has done with the judges of the ICC). I don’t agree that not being a member of an EU country should exempt someone from EU sanctions, but as you suggest, to be consistent in outlook, the EU should also be sanctioning any individuals participating or complicit in crimes against humanity, including any sanctioned by the ICC.

  • Tom Welsh

    “The UK Government is arguing that I have no connection to Palestine Action”.

    Ah! Catch-22. Either you have no standing, or you yourself are a criminal.

    Neat. And horrible.

  • Brian Red

    An end to prison censorship/restrictions on communications (e.g., blocking letters, phone calls, and books).

    Many communications to prisoners sent through EmailAPrisoner.com are being blocked on spurious, unexplained “security” grounds. These include totally anodyne messages that say things like “Keep your spirits up”. Certainly the state is trying to break many prisoners. This is over and above the system that British prisons run on, which might easily be termed “social credit” – brownie points and black marks for interactions with guards.

    Don’t forget that Sodexo, the company that operates prisons such as Bronzefield, also operates in Occupied Palestine.

    Meanwhile in another part of the British state, the Home Office is refusing visa applications that would have been granted without fuss even only a year ago. Often they are giving utterly spurious semi-literately written “reasons” that sound as though they were written by Nazi truth dentist dimwit teenage bouncers (online or elsewhere) or else by “artificial intelligence”. They are getting many facts obviously wrong – I mean undeniably wrong, as if they haven’t even bothered to read a person’s completed application form or their supporting documents – but it doesn’t matter because the basic message is “We’ve got power, and you’re just scum”. A factor of major importance seems to be the country that the applicant comes from. Reform UK might as well already be in office.

    What ties these two developments together is the “we don’t need no stinking badges” approach.

  • Luis Cunha da Silva

    Is this a matter which could, in the fullness of time, be taken appealed all the way to the top in the UK and then, if necessary, to the ECHR?

  • Twirlip

    The BBC, in its brief news headlines on Radio 3 at 6 p.m., has actually had the fucking gall to describe protests against the Gaza genocide as “protests targeting the Jewish community”. There are no depths to which these filthy lying propagandists will not sink.

    • glenn_nl

      It’s worth putting in an official complaint and a note to OFFCOM. Your MP too if you were part of the protests, and feel understandably maligned by the slur.

      Not that anything will come of it, of course, but when they get enough of them and it ties up resources every time they pull crap like this, it might well make them feel less comfortable about doing so all the time.

  • Brian Sides

    My Sister entered an involuntary hunger strike when she had a stroke on the 24th of September 2025 and was taken to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital . They refused to feed her and she died on the 27th of October 2025
    After 34 days without food. She was 79, This is what yo can expect from the NHS (Nasty Health Service) if you are old and not some minor celebrity. We had refused the End Of life Care pathway as it is the same as the banned Liverpool care pathway with its ever so kind morphine. So they just found excuses why they could not feed her. When I put it to the DR’s, clinicians how the inevitable malnutrition and death would follow they would not agree. So the death certificate says brain haemorrhage . One more lie for the statistics.

    • Brian Red

      Sorry to hear about your sister, Brian. Quite a lot of people get killed off by denial of food and water. Calling it the Nasty Health Service is far too kind. National Heap of Shit is more apt, or Nazional Heimland Service.

      This story says it all: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52117814

      Many patients get “DNR-ed” (“do not resuscitate”), but during the Covid hoax GPs and their lackeys were sending out letters saying sign this, buddy, and don’t forget that letting you die without receiving any care will save your “friends and family” the inconvenience of dialling 999.

    • Stevie Boy

      If you’re old (>55) and have the misfortune to enter an NHS facility you will stand a very high chance of being murdered. This is not due to negligence or incompetence it is the explicit policy of this organisation and the government.

      • glenn_nl

        That’s putting it a bit strong, Steve.

        My wife was a nurse, and if she was operating under such a policy, she would probably have mentioned it. I sincerely doubt her conscience would have allowed her to carry on in the job regardless. Nurses are pretty familiar with the treatment patients get – it would be extraordinarily hard to operate a policy like that while senior nurses knew nothing about it whatsoever.

        In fact, so difficult to do so whilst keeping it entirely under wraps that it doesn’t go anywhere near passing the laugh test. A bit like imagining con-trails are a secret plot to murder the population by the millions, including the scientists, engineers and pilots pumping the stuff into the atmosphere, together with their families.

          • Alyson

            Yes, Stevie, my parent was murdered too, (Aly I trust my doctor, he understands my medical needs, I trust him to keep me well. Aly you’ve got to do something, they’re killing me off) and my other parent still living at home, was appalled that our GP tried so hard to get him to sign a DNR and a Power of Attorney for Health, giving the doctor the power to decide what would be in their best interests. It was called The Daffodil Standards during the covid cull (read the BMJ for detail) and now the Respect Protocol makes the same requirement on all people over 65 who are either admitted to hospital or to a Nursing Home (which will take every penny they own in fees, and sell the house quickly or they will take the next of kin’s money and house too) and if the person refuses to sign the doctor openly stated he would check their indemnity insurance to see if they could overrule his decision and ours.

            The dangers facing the sick and the elderly are not to be understated or dismissed. The pressure is now on for an Inquiry into the huge quantities of Midazolam that were purchased at the start of covid.

            The Right to Life is the first of our Human Rights that is directly under threat right now

        • Brian Red

          Nurses are indoctrinated.

          They don’t get told here’s a knife, just go and slit that patient’s jugular will you, then we’ll all have a big party. That’s not how it works.

          Stevie is right.

          See Milgram’s electroshock experiment too.

          This is a barbaric society we’re living in, and Britain is especially far gone.

          • Robert Hughes

            ” This is a barbaric society we’re living in, and Britain is especially far gone.”. Indeed, Brian. What horrifies me is how * things * have got SO bad SO quickly? The rapid degeneration of, well, everything, in the Political sphere, anyway, didn’t begin with the mass psyops of the * Covid * Lockdown/up, but they definitely upped a gear and have just got worse & worse since that exercise in State power/manipulation.
            That the end of that particular * operation * was immediately followed by the UK’s slavering participation in the Proxy War ( UK * Security * Service involvement in that benighted country started long before the onset of the SMO, of course ) and I’d put a bet on the end of the latter being followed by another * Pandemic * – look how they’re hyping-up this so-called ” terrible strain ” of flu – which has, apparently made a dramatic comeback after going AWOL during 20/21; because we now live in the age of Permacrisis, Totally manufactured Permacrisis that is.

            And whilst the masses are being bludgeoned by one fearmongering, distracting scenario after another, the bludgeoners are tightening their grip on the little agency * ordinary * people have left to oppose this tightening, eg the ” clamping down ” on public demonstrations – pretty sure it won’t be long before ANY protest against Zionist inhumanity will be criminalised; the policing of online platforms, y’know, to ” protect children “; ” Hate Speech ” prosecutions and now the coup de grace, the manufacture of war with a nuclear-armed country; for which it * may be necessary * to introduce some form of conscription – witness the utter lunacy/outrage of Germany doing precisely this; and the conditioning of the public mind to accept evermore drastic reductions of social/economic security/wellbeing.

            The Political UK is a sick-in-the-head moral vacuum, peopled by compliant drones under the control of, TBH, I don’t know WTF it is, but we can be sure pathetic mouthpieces for geopolitical savagery and domestic oppression like Starmer are merely following instructions issuing from further up the food/power chain.

            The UK is in the worst state in my lifetime, and on present trajectory, may prove to be the worst state of anyone’s lifetime.

            RADICAL ( as you say….lit. from the roots ) change is urgently needed; but I can’t see that change coming from the present Political Party- dominated system. NONE of the existing mob have either a clue or the will to break, eg the MSM stranglehold on political discourse and the deliberately imposed paralysis that maintains the status quo that benefits a tiny % and damages/disempowers the vast majority

  • azymax

    Managed to attend most of the JR – the Bench certainly had an ‘attitude’ for team Ammori’s briefs – patronising. Where did they think they were, for heaven’s sake – Strasbourg ? Little patience with the “drama” of frustrating genocide, nor the “sterile dichotomies” of ECtHR case law rooted in far-off jurisdictions. Putting an optimistic spin on it, they were seemingly only interested in drilling into the record of the government’s procedural conduct, the rest … tiresome. The Defence assists, Kosmin and Barnes, did also catch some gentle but withering interruptions.

    Odds have been stacked against an equitable outcome – not to mention the black hole of the CLOSED material proceedings.

    I’ve put together an account of the proceedings’ argumentation as best captured from the public gallery and submissions, though holding back from posting it in view of the Order on reporting restrictions. Did Chamberlain really mean that no press comment is permissible until after the last Filton/Instro trial in, what, … 2027?

    … any conclusion of any Minister, adviser, or official that the incidents referred to at paragraphs (a) and/or (b) above satisfied the definition of “terrorism” in s. 1(1) of the Terrorism Act 2000,
    must be postponed until the conclusion of the trials arising from those events.

    What if the proscription Order is actually struck out ? [Which meant before the JR started that it’s not going to be?]

      “Sterile dichotomies” – that would be laughable if this weren’t so serious. All law is based on dichotomies. They’re just saying “stick that up your arse” in posh. Judges are prejudiced biased thugs putting on an act, shocker.

      “What if the proscription Order is actually struck out?” Then there won’t be trials. But given Britain is Britain, who knows?

    British cops are pulling protestors off the streets for saying “globalise the intifada”.

    Apparently this a “racially aggravated public order offence”. Even if a Jew does it?? Let the CPS argue that one in court…assuming ZOG gives them the instruction.

    Maybe INTIFADA could become a key radical slogan… Possible. Why not?

    Meanwhile has anyone else noticed that the British regime has started to use the word “radicalisation” to apply to boys who are deemed to be acting in a sexist way or becoming more sexist. Gotta wonder what more will be put on this word. If workers tell their boss he can do one, are they radical? I’ve always loved the word “radical”. Going to the roots of things.

    “Trump versus BBC” is c*ck. Trump just has a thing about trying to force everyone to give him money and resources – Russia, Ukraine, Britain, etc. He wants everyone to be his b*tch.

    But look at what the BBC, i.e. British government media, are saying about Venezuela:

    “What are the ‘ghost ships’ Venezuela is using to evade oil sanctions?”

    Whitehall will tell the BBC to do whatever the US embassy instuct, and the BBC will do it. The BBC is part of Whitehall. Same as with almost all British foreign news reporting, which is often part of psychological warfare. Britgov is showing that it’s totally on-side with the USA aggressors: “ghost ships”, “evading sanctions”, “What is Venezuela doing?”, etc. (Not “what is the USA doing?”)

      British registered ships are removing oil from Venezuela in breach of Trump’s sanctions. The government has approved a £50bn arms package using the Green Budget and overseas aid to provide huge dividends for investors, with the aim of continuing to target Russian oil and gas and stealing Russian money banked in Britain, though to be fair, Starmer has politely requested £2.5bn of Abramovitch’s profit from selling Chelsea and Abramovitch has been a generous donor to Israel.
