landlords are robbing us fucking blind and in doing so they rob our local shops, cafes, public transport and services. disgusting parasites that never answer for any of it when media or politicians do their hand-wringing about closures & dead town centres

the article tries to make a concession by including this quote but ultimately it fails to point out that landlords take money out of the economy and people who receive government support put all that money back into their local economies

I passed a guy in the street who was saying to a woman, "The euphoria … it was just incredible. I can see how people get addicted," so I lingered in front of them and it turned out they were talking about claw machines

Credit to the Donkeys guys, who I have been critical of in the past. It’s a sharp contrast to the rest of British liberalism, which has - at very best - sat silently on its hands saying nothing, presumably because they understand just how badly incriminated the most prominent Sensible Moderates are.

Led By Donkeys Led By Donkeys wins compensation over seizure of Gaza protest banner Waste firm Veolia pays £27k after 'Yes It's A Genocide' banner taken by Greater London Authority was destroyed Haroon Siddique Legal affairs correspondent Tue 28 Jul 2026 14.41 BST < Share G Prefer the Guardian on Google The campaign group Led By Donkeys has received £27,000 in compensation after a giant banner it displayed in Parliament Square saying "Yes It's A Genocide" was seized by Greater London Authority officials and destroyed. Representatives of the GLA arrived on the scene in central London and confiscated the 40-metre by 40-metre banner after it was unfurled on 4 December 2024, just over a year after Israel began its assault on Gaza after the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas.After legal letters were sent on behalf of Led By Donkeys demanding that either the GLA or Veolia cover the banner's cost, Veolia has agreed to pay £27,216. Ben Stewart, a co-founder of Led By Donkeys, said: "The Parliament Square banner was in collaboration with one of the world's leading genocide scholars, but still the authorities threw process out the window and simply seized and destroyed our property. Pursuing compensation was never about the money, it was about defending space to protest Israel's war crimes. "Palestine protests are treated differently in Britain to all other forms of activism. Direct action is regarded as terrorism and words on a placard are rendered illegal. Over the years we've delivered banners, put up billboards and done guerilla projections across the country, but the only time our equipment has been seized and destroyed was when it related to Palestine."
