For Quakers, faith & action are inseparable," said recording clerk for Quakers in Britain.

“Peaceful protest, prayer, & non-violent action are expressions of our worship. When this is criminalised, our religious freedom is under attack."

Quakers in Britain has been refused permission to give evidence in a landmark legal challenge to the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

We are disappointed with this decision, which means our concerns around freedom of religion will not be heard in court.

Hi Anthony and Katty @restispoliticsus.bsky.social
Can you work out for me how many deaths worldwide have been caused by the fiscal cuts made by the present administration, and how this compares with deaths caused by wars?

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did

futurism.com/future-socie...
In an interview for a new Netflix documentary filmed months before her death, famed British primatologist Jane Goodall called for billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to be blasted into space. “Absolutely, there are people I don’t like,” she told interviewer and TV writer Brad Falchuk, “and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover.” When asked if she would like Musk to be on the spacecraft alongside them, she sounded off. “Oh, absolutely, he’d be the host,” she said. “Along with Musk, it’d be [president Donald] Trump and some of Trump’s real supporters.” “Put them all on that spaceship and send them off,” she concluded.

Zack Polanski was the only major party leader not to be interviewed on the Laura Kuennsberg Show and he said that it’s likely because of his pro-Palestine and anti-genocide politics, which is obviously true.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Police already have huge powers to restrict protests.

Handing them more would undermine our rights further while failing to keep people safe from violence like the horrific and heartbreaking anti-Semitic attack in Manchester.
