If you get in the way of making money in a capitalist society, you're a terrorist now. Terror used to invoke images of death, violence, etc. Now it's defacing or destroying property causing lost revenue.
Losing money is terrifying to rich people so it does make sense. I think they they need to get over that fear though. I hear immersion therapy is pretty effective.
The problem is all in their heads, and therefore the solution is to separate their heads from their bodies. Instant relief!
Couldn't they appeal to a higher court in basis of this?
In the US it would be the easiest appeal for judicial bias ever filed.
In the UK? The rules are looser.
I'm sure that's in the works.
I don't have much faith in anyone who has ever touched a powdered wig.
I dated a barrister for a while. She liked to wear her wig during times of intimacy. And that was one of the least of her kinks.
Ever notice how the countries who are the most pro-Israel are the same countries that restricted Jewish immigration during the holocaust? We never talk about how Jewish immigration to Palestine means they're not immigrants to England or the US.
Fuck Israel
Good! It's ABOUT Time we PUNISH Destruction of Property with HARSHER Sentences then if they had MURDERED someone Instead! THAT will Stop people!
"The greatest injustice in modern British history" is a pretty high bar to clear.
I just read up about the Cossacks being handed over to Stalin for execution by the British, so they could get their own POWs back from the communists.
Not just the Cossacks that fought with the Nazis, which would be understandable. All of them, including children. Even ones that had left Russia before communism took hold and never associated with the Nazis.
Because the Brits in charge of the handover were lazy and couldnt be fucked to actually follow the terms of the exchange properly.
The greatest british tragedy was the privatization of the commons. Creating a worker class they'd mistreat.
And then the judge, alone, unilaterally, declared that these young people are terrorists. Image
That's not what happened. Criminal damage conviction carries up to 10 years of jail. People usually spend in jail half of their sentence before they qualify for parole. In case of crimes with maximum penalty of 2 years or more the judge can apply "terrorist connection" aggravating factor. When applied it means the convict has to spend at least 2/3 of the sentence in jail before they qualify for parole.
The protesters are part of organization that is recognized as terrorist organization by the UK government. This was recently confirmed by the highest UK court. The judge applied "terrorist connection" aggravating factor. He did not convict them of any additional crimes or declared anyone a terrorist.
Thanks for filling in the gaps. This version of the report, like most things, is intentionally misleading.
Yeah, it's all just propaganda intentionally pushing one sided narrative. The wording is misleading on purpose. There is valid argument against the counter-terrorism act and it's ok to use this case to show its flaws but lying about the case is not the right way to do it.
You can't fight lawlessness in your government by following the laws of your government.
Do you not know where the judge lives?
I was wondering why there was a lack of capitalization in the headline and the headers but then I realized this was a shitty substack article.
This was an injustice but King Chuckle's covering for his brother the Epstein files rapist is just as disgusting as this.
Maybe all the folks that died in the tower of London would have objections too
Windrush is far worse.
