Our friend Rajan says it clearly. Opposing genocide by Israel is not antisemitism, terrorism or any other crime. Similarly for any other genocide.

The government is playing the "get them into jail free" card that only they have access to. Tyranny starts here.
The UK government closed the final day of the judicial review into Palestine Action by presenting secret evidence, hidden from both the group’s lawyers and the public, to justify its ban on the direct-action organisation.

Those of you who know my work know that misgendering on death certificates has been a preoccupation of mine for several years now. I have been really concerned to hear that even though we now have specific guidance on the issue, there are some Coroners who have not been following it.
The tendency of Coroners to ignore guidance from the Chief Coroner, the reality of trans existence, and the wishes of bereaved parents, and express their own views in the death certificate, is both contemptible and unlawful.
We have a legal team ready to go; we will challenge it in the High Court.
