Journalists in the UK are being detained under the Terrorism Act for reporting on the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people.
This is fascism.
Under “Labour”, no less.
(Not surprising, of course, for one colonialist to support another.)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •It's why parts of the party worked against Corbyn during both General elections, when he was leader, and ensured he never won, and then expelled him and everything left of them when they took charge. They are essentially the small c conservatives that governed before the Tories slid far right under Johnson

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Imagine trying to work as a journalist abroad when you have a “classified” arrest under anti-terrorism laws. Even if/when the UK withdraws the charges, other countries could look at his history and choose to arbitrarily deny entry based on this arrest.
They are neutering his career.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Really stark constrast between this (and the previous anti-genocide protest in the UK as presented in the media)
To the slap on the wrist like all the right-wing ultras who burned buildings, flipped cars, attacked people who looked different
On average they were getting what, 2 months?
