Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Children have INSET day, so half-term has started early for them. For any parents and carers in the same boat, here’s my regular reminder of this thread videos of easy-to-make TOYS which all work on some sort of science / engineering principle
Fellow parents! Carers! Anyone looking after children over half-term! Here is a thread of videos showing TOYS you can MAKE at home from scrap stuff you probably have lying around. First, the utterly delightful "balancing bird" alomshaha.com/balancing-bi...

At the next Michael Carrick press conference - Holt, Delaney, Auclair, Glendinning et al need to be there to aggressively question him about Ratcliffe’s latest racist outburst.
Unless upsetting Man U is too commercially risky for them of course.

No matter what any #MUFC racism apologists might want to tell you, Jim Ratcliffe is not a fit and proper person to own a football club. The FA needs to disbar him and make him sell it.

As an Arsenal fan, I have always enjoyed our historic rivalry with Manchester Utd.
Above all, I admire its identity as a diverse club with players & fans from all over the world.
Jim Ratcliffe’s comments are a disgrace. Migrants aren’t the problem. Tax-dodging billionaires are.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Trump has just posted a video of the Obamas pictured as monkeys. This should hit headlines. We warned you about him years ago, but many made him a friend, defended him, salivated and gave him football shirts. Our thoughts are with black people everywhere and my own family. I am sorry.

In 2018 Steve Bannon bragged to Jeffrey Epstein about his influence over European politicians including Nigel Farage and that he could “shut down any crypto legislation or anything else we want”.
