You’re confusing two different things. The people in this article stood trial over an incident in Wilton where a building was broken into, property damaged and a police officer severely assaulted. There were two linked trials, and in February one of them resulted in a jury unable to come to a verdict on certain of the charges. The CPS elected to retry the defendants on those charges, and that’s the verdict just in.

You’re confusing that with the unlawful (not illegal) proscription of Palestine Action, which resulted in many arrests of non-violent protestors. There is an appeal pending on the status of the proscription.

sorry, it's just so hard to keep up with all that bullshit.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
