“When people who oppose all forms of violence, who are trying to stop war and terrorism, are arrested on terrorism charges, nothing makes sense any more” - spot on from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

I went out to challenge the law used to ban Palestine Action. Would I be arrested too? | George Monbiot

Around the country, peaceful protesters see their actions as the legitimate exercise of free speech. The police often disagree – and that’s a problem for our democracy, says Guardian columnist George ...

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives. Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips. And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion. Next question.

Starmer asked to explain why recognition of Palestinian statehood is conditional.

This. I've listened in real time to BBC Radio - in particular Radio 4 - devolving into a reactionary mouthpiece. The news segments are principally concerned with uncritically repeating racist, far-right narratives about immigrants. Two Minutes Hate, every hour on the hour.

BBC Radio is unbearable. I’ve not listened in years - but just now parents had it on. First BBC discussed starvation in Gaza with the repeated phrase “the Hamas-run Health Ministry”. Then interviewed a random Scot who played golf with Trump 11 years ago, about Trump’s golfing.

I presume there is this tiny army of Very Angry Radicalised People sweeping the web and pouncing into the comment section of any article which is remotely sympathetic to trans people. So you quickly learn to write on the subject and then never, ever look at the comments.

A councillor tried to stop another 24-hour gaming centre. Planning officers agreed with her but approved it anyway. Not by mistake – by law. How this could be changed to stop them plaguing our high streets and harming vulnerable people ⤵️

Why councils can’t say no to the 24-hour gambling dens plaguing high streets

A broken law forces councils to approve gambling venues – even when they know harm will follow

The Courier reports on Sandie Peggie's racist posts, where she used the term "p*kis" and said that, following devistating floods, Pakistan looked like a "giant bowl of coco pops". Sandie Peggie is supported in her case by Sex Matters. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

EXCLUSIVE: NHS Fife nurse Sandie Peggie mocked victims of Pakistan floods in series of racist posts

Supporting Palestine Action’s right to protest is not the same as supporting Palestine Action. It’s time for Keir Starmer to remember why human rights exist. Read @clivestaffordsmith.bsky.social’s op-ed here: goodlaw.social/8idv

It’s important to protect children online, but tech firms and legislators must make sure that they don’t lock children out of material they have a right to access – and that the line between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” isn’t discriminatory.

What's forgotten is there's people who vote & answer polls. Then there's a whole section of society - don't vote or watch news, don't answer polls, but still live in society & shop, go work, use internet. And get enraged when Govt suddenly stops them leaving the house or restricts them in any way

Labour are pissing so many people off just to appeal to a small section of floating voters their advisors and focus groups have identified in key seats. Are they absolutely sure they can afford to piss so many people off, because come election time they'll still vote Labour?

Today, our capital proudly marks seven years of London Trans+ Pride. As trans rights come under increasing pressure across the UK, this year’s march is a vital reminder: London is a city that stands for equality, dignity and pride - for everyone. 🏳️‍⚧️

✍️THIS MAKES THEM MORE HONEST THAN OUR MEDIA. I JUST SUBSCRIBED. Scottish newspaper headline about Trump visit referred to him as 'convicted US felon'? www.snopes.com/fact-check/s... 💙 #SaturdayMood 🏳️‍🌈 #FBR #FBPE #Resistance #StrongerTogether #KindnessMatters #Motivation #Bluecrew

Scottish newspaper headline about Trump visit referred to him as 'convicted US felon'?

The newspaper's front page reflected Trump's legal challenges while avoiding using his name directly in the headline.
