The court of appeal has rulled that banning Palestine Action as terrorist (I summarise) was lawful. So we can expect further crackdowns by Labour - expect Environmental protests soon and Welsh, NI and Scottish parties calling for independence to be next in line.

“The Secret Israel Plot to Ban Palestine Action: This is the story of how Israel got a protest group based in another country proscribed a Terrorist organisation”

“They told us it was about security. They lied. The proscription of #PalestineAction was not a sober counter‑terrorism decision; it was the outcome of a deliberate, well‑resourced campaign by Israeli‑aligned lobby networks, defence contractors and high‑profile advocates that bent UK policy to punish critics of Israel.
At the centre of that campaign stood Catherine Perez‑Shakdam and the lobby group We Believe In Israel, working with industry allies to amplify alarm, press ministers and shape media coverage”

Report: Palestine Action Activists Sentenced As Terrorists received sentences of up to eight years.
Defense's Rajiv Menon said "the terrorist connection ruling would be dramatic & draconian & would affect the defendants for the rest of their lives."
He said the ruling was "the first time a terrorism connection has been invoked in a case limited to property damage."

At the end of the #Filton6 trial, the judge, Mr Justice Johnson, ruled that the defendants could not argue they had a “lawful excuse” because of the actions of the Israeli military in #Gaza
He also forbade them from inviting the jury to apply the principle of jury equity – the right of a jury to acquit on the basis of conscience regardless of the judge’s directions – or, worse, to inform the jury of it. See my posts about Trudi Warner from #DefendourJuries
And this explains why the defendants decided to dismiss their representatives, choosing to speak directly to the jury instead.
However, during his closing speech, one of the barristers DID mention a 1670 act, Bushell's Case, that “established the right of juries to give their verdict according to their convictions"
That barrister is now up for contempt of court.
This morning, I received a reply from an MP who suggested I should be careful as I, too, could be charged with the same.
Such is the nature of justice in Starmer's facist Britain 🇬🇧

"Don't fall into their trap.
Find the six of us not guilty of criminal damage.
I watched from the public gallery at Woolwich Crown Court as she gave this speech, through tears, and I could hear people crying all around me. I couldn't see the jury, but how could they fail to be moved?
All five of the defendants' speeches were powerful and moving, each in their own unique way.

The #Filton6 took an unusual move yesterday and dismissed their legal representatives. This afforded them an opportunity to speak directly to the jury.
What they say to them is seriously profound as it is troubling, detaling the inconsistent nature of the prosecution as well as the complicity of the British State.
The press are not allowed to report their words
Once again, I am indebted to @strangetown@toot.wales for finding this xx

Apparently the jury at the #Filton6 re-trial have been asking 'awkward questions' about evidence they have been presented with such as the number of security guards present; who was operating tbe CCTV footage; why are there apparent gaps in the recordings they have been shown; and why had the court refused to include a certain security manager from giving evidence
This looks bad for the g'ment who have asked for this retrial

Sir James Eadie, representing the g'ment, said in the court yesterday: “Persons expressing support for, and associating with, #PalestineAction should not have been treated [by the courts] as undertaking peaceful protest; rather, they were supporting a terrorist group, the activities of which were inconsistent with democratic values and the rule of law.”
