It’s not enough to restore my faith in the general public, but it’s welcome news at least.

    It's my understanding that the general public's opinion of the PA ban and subsequent legal trials of its members is overwhelmingly in the defendants favor.

    But I'm not sure how in touch I am with the British public.

    Anyway, I hope your faith in the British public continues to heal.

    The incident took place at the height of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and before Keir Starmer’s government had implemented any restrictions on arms exports to Tel Aviv.

    It should read

    The incident took place at the height of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and before Keir Starmer’s government had implemented any secret plans to imprison people protesting genocide and label them as terrorists without the jury knowing

    TIL that the draconian and authoritarian response to criticism of the Israel genocide on Palestine is called "Operation Recomply, led by Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command".
