The government should make oil and gas giants pay for the climate damage they have caused, so we can fund a just climate transition.

I'm an arrestee from yesterday and once again met the most kind, gentle and thoughtful people sitting with placards, making the absurdity of arrests so blatant.
I was sitting close to Adam, who continued pretending he was pro genocide, asking why he wasn't arrested: www.instagram.com/p/DPL2G9iCNth/

I wanted you to see this timely and important public petition. When I signed it last wk (Thu?/Fri?) there were just 2 of us in this constituency who’d done so. By this afternoon there were 109, with national total of signatories at over 62,000.

INSTANTLY a tiny old guy will Tom Bombadil himself out of a door you didn't even know was there.
He will have a box. And a tiny screwdriver.

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.
This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

Just to clear something up - a Police Officer has to witness someone conducting themselves in a manner liable to a Breach of the Peace do they not?

I'd love this man anyway, but here's why:
So many people that I speak to in my new job express surprise when I check to see if I'm pronouncing their name correctly.
"No-one usually does that".
When you've had your name mangled (outside Cymru, natch) your whole life you tend to want to make sure you don't do it to others.

That's terrifying shit

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic
