The judgment followed a 'judicial review of a case brought by Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori."
The court ruled that the ban was discriminatory & resulted in very significant interference with the right of freedom of speech & assembly.
~ 3,000 people were arrested under terrorism laws for holding signs in support of the group.

Analysis: "Starmer’s ban on Palestine Action was done to protect the arms industry"
A Channel 4 doco on Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organisation alleges the proscription was done at the behest of Elbit Systems.
The doco cites evidence - including a 2023 internal Home Office email stating: "Reassure Elbit Systems UK... that the government cares about the harm the group is causing the private sector".

Palestine Action wasn’t banned because it’s a terrorist organisation. It was banned because large corporations, like the Elbit weapons firm, have captured the UK government.www.jonathan-cook.net

for 27 months they called us liars, they called us #Hamas supporters, they called us antisemites, they called us terrorists and other things because we shared the horrifying numbers of deaths in #Gaza.
Quietly, while the world is busy with #Epstein, #Greenland, War on #Iran and other distractions, they accepted the reports of the casualties of the Israeli #genocide in Gaza.
But, the western media don't seem to care much about it.

The UK is overexposed in its dependency on foreign tech to keep government, public services and democratic processes running.
There are moves across Europe to assert #DigitalSovereignty – Germany, France and the European Commission are all looking at developing strategies.

Take action! What’s the problem? The UK’s digital backbone. The cloud services, data systems, and platforms that underpin government, public services, and democratic processes is dangerously reliant on a small number of foreign tech companies.Open Rights Group
What does a UK #DigitalSovereignty strategy look like?
⚫ Open Source software to ensure continuity. We can switch suppliers whilst maintaining critical services, because we aren't locked into a closed proprietary system.
⚫ Interoperable systems to strengthen competition and the resilience of UK tech.
#opensource #interoperability #sovereingty #uk #tech #ukpolitics #ukpol
UK national security is exposed in having vital systems supplied by a handful of foreign tech companies.
We're vulnerable to risks, such as service withdrawal, sanctions, commercial failure, geopolitical disruption and unilateral changes to service terms.
The UK government lacks effective control.
Even secure systems are fragile if the plug can be plugged from a distance.
In an upended world, the threat is real. That's why the UK needs to steel its digital infrastructure against foreign political interference.

"Trump’s 'Board of Peace' is the nail in Gaza’s coffin".
Trump's 'peace' is in the Orwellian sense of equalling "the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza."
And the board is about a new world order where billionaires will decide the fate of weak nations.
“I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace", says Trump. Orwell’s moment is truly upon us: “War is peace.”

I still can’t quite get over a Labour minister actually saying this.
Of course they *want* a totalitarian surveillance state, the Home Office is basically the Ministry for Domestic Fascism these days. But you don’t come out and *say* it.

Home secretary dreams of AI-powered ‘panopticon’
The UK's home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has been criticised after naming the panopticon as her model for the British criminal justice system.Scottish Legal News
“When I was in justice, my ultimate vision for that part of the criminal justice system was to achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.”
– Shabana Mahmood, Home Secretary of the UK
(For those of you not in the UK, these are the so-called “centrists.”)

There's a consultation. Have you chipped in yet?
Yes, it's a pain. But [SPOILER] one of the last questions is about favourable treatment for new categories. Did I propose three new categories of US refugees, including LGBTQ?
Mainly, I'd suggest tackling the complicated questions with a bit of empathy for family bonds.
