In what becomes known as the Battle of Pulo Aura, Commodore Nathanial Dance defeated and scattered Admiral Linois' French battle squadron, saving the China Convoy, with only a brig and 11 East Indiamen.
In his report to Napoleon, Linois complained that somehow Dance had EIGHT Ships-of-the-Line. /10

This means that even if Palestine Action ad not won on Human Rights Act/ECHR grounds, Palestine Action would have won on another ground.
No doubt this will be missed by a lot of media reporting of this judgment, but even if HRA repealed etc, Palestine Action would have *still won*.

It is very difficult to defeat the government on any terrorism judicial review
It is also very difficult to defeat the government when challenging a statutory instrument, terrorism or otherwise.
Legally this is a *huge* achievement for the applicants.

I'm always hesitant to post this take because it pleases no one, but my Eastern European side can't help but interpret Starmer as 'what if Brezhnev had focus groups'
