Exasperating to the last Tory Government - and a certain campaigning magistrate - that juries kept acquitting peaceful protestors against planetary destruction. What better way to solve that problem than by abolishing juries - who knows what they might do otherwise to eg Palestine Action protestors.

Reform will love this idea. Makes it easier to lock up anyone they want.

It's similar in the UK:

1) Donors give huge sums to elected politicians
2) Elected politicians don't criticise the genocidal behaviour of governments linked to the donations
3) Those genocidal governments linked to the donors continue to murder and maim, even after truce agreement
4) Repeat
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

This is such a worrying development. How long before its widespread use within the UK?
Masked ICE GOONS have been using facial recognition technology without consent to capture images of young men for identity and citizenship verification. This technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black and Brown communities, silences dissent, and free speech.

This, from 1947, but still so relevant today. Anyone even thinking of voting for Reform should watch, absorb, understand... and then realise that they're being played.

Labour being Labour, doing what they want, to the bemusement of everyone with common sense.

There is no trust in this Labour government. No trust that they're working for the benefit of the population. Too mired in the filth that is vested interests and their donations to individuals.
Left: Shabana Mahmood as Lord Chancellor, "It is right that we have an independent judiciary in this country"

Right: Labour have removed a judge who was due to hear and rule over the legality of the proscription of Palestine Action

Labour are interfering in the independence of our judiciary

I fully support this!

Shop online and you'll lose your High Street retailers. For the sake of a couple of quid, do you want to lose the heart of your community? What'll be left, coffee- and charity shops? And when they leave?

Shop independents, please. They'll be SO grateful.
What if the true meaning of Christmas is supporting small businesses so the oligarchs have a very shitty season?

This odious little sh*tty Putin-lickspittle wants to be PM.

What, if anything, of the UK would be left after his tenure?

If it talks like a traitorous, paid apologist for Putin's Russia, then it probably is.
So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds.

This is how disabled & marginalized inmates are treated in jail.

Videos from the Rankin County jail show Larry Buckhalter being electrocuted & then instructed to wish a Happy Birthday to the former head of the jail.

Racism & ableism are a horrific combination.

Gill sentenced for 10.5 years!

Now investigate Farage thoroughly! I'm sure that there'll be dancing in the streets if that odious, self-serving, little sh*t spends time in prison too!
