This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

The time has finally come for one of the greatest films ever to be released on 4K! A truly wild and exhilarating mix of tones, genres and blistering action sequences. Still rmb hunting for this at Kims Video on a trip to New York as it was impossible to find in the UK in the early 2000s.

Zohran Mamdani has the Palestinian protest movement to thank for his win | Heba Gowayed
