but graham linehan can call to assault women in bathrooms and get praised by the prime minister
He's a right prick. I hope he gets locked up. Deserves it far more than old people sat with cardboard in their hands.
Man. Tens of thousands is all it will take to end this farce. Not that many when you consider that a genocide is taking place, and the government is complicit in crimes against humanity.
I think we should stay saying "Labour run police force" when these numbers come out.
Whether the badge wears a Labour label or a Conservative one, it’s still the same state instrument protecting private property and keeping the working class in check. The uniform may change, but the class interest it serves doesn’t.
Police who uphold authoritarian system by committers of genocide deserve a blade between the ribs.
The starting salary for a police officer is around £30k, going up to £48k. Many of these people are just trying to do a job as best they can to get by, they are following orders. We can only hope most of these people will do the right thing if things become extreme.
We shouldn't condone attacking people for doing their job, that is what leads to good causes being flagged as terrorism.
“Just following orders” hasn’t been a valid defense since Nuremberg. If “following orders” was a valid defense, there would be a lot of camp guards who wouldn’t have been brought to justice after the war. All humans have agency to either victimize innocents or not. Police officers can choose to not be pigs the same way soldiers can choose to not be murderous Nazis.
This idea gets long. But I'd be interested in genuine opinions.
Have PA supporters tried a long term protest in Hyde Park yet.
Actually arranging for a collection of eloquent speekers. To provide continuing arguments against the actions of the government. Pointing out the hypocrisy of the governments claims.
Specifically indicating starmers history of successfully defending almost identical actions as legal during blairs government.
How the met etc are clearly being used to censor political opposition to the governments actions.
Etc etc.
Ensuring the event is long term a week or more camping at speakers corner.
If nothing else if the Met arrest protesters for speeking in a location that has been traditionally and to a much lesser extent legally protected from censorship since 1872. Will provide a media event.
A little subtle planning can also help extend it. As speekers will be arrested. The goal(IMHO) would need to be to keep attention on the area and the actual debate/counter arguments to the govs rather pathetic case.
Keeping the active protesters a very small group. With signs that prevent arrest. IE opposing gov actions not Supporting PA.
While the Speaker is speaking mainly about the opposition to government actions. And the proscribing of a group that has not commited a crime (according to Starmer in past court cases).
This will ensure all the arrests are questionable in court. And actually fail to meet the definition of unlawful.
Using a small group and keeping non active speakers away from the actions. Will allow a delay between each speaker arrest. Before an entirely new speaker arrived and starts discussing exactly the same points.
iMHO such a protest will draw attention to the MET being used as a from of censorship. Rather then providing protection against terrorism. While wasting as much police time as possible forcing police to either monitor while not arresting. (Assuming the follow the laws Or run back and forth finding excuses to arrest people who are very clearly legally opposing government actions. Rather then supporting PA.
I'd be surprised if anyone makes it to court. But assuming they do. Again more time and effort. More attention.
Arrested for terrorism for holding a sign. How fucked is the UK.
