The EU frogmarched into ridicule by the intensive farm lobby. The European Parliament has voted through the Veggie burgers ban.

As the world burns, we make symbolic gestures to show we want to burn it faster.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

The UK has arrested 1,775 people for protesting against genocide since the proscription of Palestine Action.

The UK has not arrested a single person since October 7 for their participation in that genocide.

Isn’t this precisely why you have the right to carry arms USA?

To prevent people taking away your rights?

I’m mystified why you aren’t fighting back?

Rattled, much?

A speech about unity, community and cohesion.

About the 99% Vs the 1%.

I'm not surprised the Labour Party didn't quite get that....

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.

So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

“Cancel pro-Palestine marches, Home Secretary demands”

Lift The Ban on Palestine Action. End UK complicity in genocide.

Also, not a march, tomorrow’s event is a peaceful vigil in opposition to genocide. Always has been.

Polanski: "The proscription of Palestine Action must be withdrawn" - noting that Lib Dems failed to vote against the ban.

The Green leader calls it an attempt to "silence dissent"

"The alarm bells of authoritarianism are ringing loud and clear" he says
