Heartbroken by the atrocities being carried out in Palestine. I'm a Volunteer, Free spirit, avid reader, athletics freak, believe in fair play, a socialist Green Party Member. Poetry is my constant solace. On X under same name.
I am having to travel over 180 miles (290km) to London to answer charges of "terrorism" for opposing a genocide. I will of course be pleading not guilty. Here are my thoughts . Wish me luck 🍀

It's a long way off but will be very interesting I'm sure.

This wonderful woman is a retired nurse I love her story and the way she handles herself. ❤️ All it takes is one person in authority to be brave and put an end to this madness. Who will it be? an MP? a Judge? a Police Chief? www.instagram.com/reel/DRpe9vi...

My heart breaks for the Palestinian children. I just posted a joyous video of their visit to the UK. CADFA informed us that as soon as the group returned home, 3 of the children were beaten & abused by Israeli soldiers requiring treatment. Last year one child we met was shot They're just children 😭

It was a privilege to meet the 8 Palestinian children and their guides in Bradford and Leeds. We helped fundraise with CADFA to bring them over to the UK for a visit. To watch them smile, dance and taste a little bit of freedom was heartwarming.

Met my friend and fellow "terrorist" Cath at Salts Mill in Saltaire for lunch and had a good catch up. We popped into the Peace Museum on the third floor, we were tempted to pretend we were exhibits and sit with our I Oppose Genocide paper signs🤣 Don't worry we didn't 😇

The Judicial Review regarding the lawfulness of the proscription of Palestine Action was due to start today. It was postponed due to a late minute removal of the Judge originally due to hear the case. I just despair we don't have a Government in the UK we have an authoritarian regime 😭
Removal of judge in Palestine Action ban legal challenge ‘deeply concerning’... so it looks like the classic British establishment stitch-up is underway. "This raises serious questions around the lack of impartiality and transparency in our judicial system" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Removal of judge in Palestine Action ban legal challenge ‘deeply concerning’
Unusual last-minute change means panel of three will now hear case rather than Mr Justice Chamberlain

What ceasefire? 😭
Last night in Nasser Hospital, Gaza: 3 dead on arrival. One small girl with a head injury died after admission. Another small girl with 25 holes in her bowel. A young woman paralysed from the waist down. This is what an Israeli ceasefire looks like

Photo by Mike Bettney it's quite scary I didn't realise how many officers were surrounding me. This looks like something out of a Police state. I held a paper sign, in the rain, sitting quietly in a camping chair. An act of peaceful protest has me banned from Leeds City Centre. No-one voted for this

Let me post a good news story for a change I'm reliant on public transport so when I lost my discount metro card it was a bit of a blow. I didn't think I would get it back, but some lovely person handed it in. ❤️ Thanks Catherine at Northern Rail I have collected it from Skipton Train Station 🤗

Dortman Square - Leeds I Oppose Genocide peaceful protest, part of a wave of nationwide protests starting today
November 19, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Draconian protest laws continue. I am now banned from Leeds City Centre not able to go to peaceful pro Palestinian protests & vigils which I've been attending every week for over two years. Excessive & unnecessary. The proscription of Palestine Action interferes with our rights to peaceful protest.
