Corrupt judges need consequences
Wish it was just corrupt judges. But this is coming from most of the poltiical class
If IDENTIFYING as a Palestine Action Activist gets you MORE time in Jail then MURDER it'll DETER people from being Activists! That's the ONLY thing that'll Happen!
In 2023, climate activists from Extinction Rebellion staged a similar protest against Barclays, breaking windows at the bank’s Canary Wharf headquarters and causing £500k worth of damage. But they were never treated as terrorists and avoided jail.
huh.
Everyone's a "terrorist" these days.
Trashy America-style sentencing
I'm a proud America hater, but this is more of a European tradition. Terrorism charges in America (all state-level or local; no federal terrorism charge exists) only exist as addons to other crimes, so this isn't something that could've happened there.
“We have not been charged with, nor convicted of, any terrorism offence,” said Malik. “At no point during our trial did the prosecution seek to pursue anything to do with terrorism, and the jury were kept completely in the dark and were not told that if convicted, we could be sentenced as terrorists.”
It seems like this is an add- on too.
Well, we’re fucked when real terrorists come along. Probably fully half of these supposed pro-palestine terror cells are undercover Special Branch trying to stir up vandalism so they can drum up some arrests anyway.
Curious how corporations can get a lot of stuff done for very cheap, practically free sometimes. But when it's time to 'calculate damages', all of a sudden they take the borderline scam options that they would have never used. In addition to multiplying the end sum by 4 for good measure, of course.
150 years of civil disobedience celebrated in the UK but as soon as Zionist supremacy is challenged its all terrorism.
