No convictions of the Filton Six. Drop all charges against the other 18, who have already been on remand for three times the legal limit. Did someone say that the prisons were overcrowded?
Did someone also say that there was a backlog in the courts? Drop the charges against the thousands of silent and mostly elderly holders up of signs. In view of the refusal to convict of the sledgehammer business, deproscribe Palestine Action, since the one contemptuous and contemptible attempt at an excuse for it no longer stands.
Defend trial by jury to the last ditch, and reject retrial on essentially the same principle, making the defence of jury trials the beginning of the restoration of liberties including double jeopardy and the requirement of unanimity for conviction, with anything else resulting in a recorded and abiding verdict of not guilty. Among many, many, many others.
And since we are clearing out New Labour root and branch, now that everyone pretends always to have agreed with a few of us as to what both those roots and those branches were, let this be the particular excuse to send back up whichever sphincter of Hell had defecated her the ghoul that concocted the sledgehammer blood libel to justify that proscription. She was previously the Wicked Witch of the Work Capability Assessment. Her husband and interviewer can dance her into HMP Durham, Britain's most overcrowded prison. To curry favour with the right-wing Labour machine in the North East, she kept me in there for twice as long as I should have been. May they all rot in it.
They are still going on about the sledgehammer.
ReplyDeleteThey always will.
DeleteSamuel Corner has been denied bail despite receiving no convictions in the first trial relating to the dismantling of weapons at Elbit Systems’ Bristol weapons factory. The other five defendants in the case have had bail granted following their acquittals on aggravated burglary. Samuel was acquitted of aggravated burglary along with all defendants. He wasn’t convicted on any charge including the charge of GBH against a police officer. Powerful testimony was given in court over the circumstances surrounding the incident and how Sam acted defensively. The CPS have asked for time to decide if they will retry the defendants on the charges of which there were no verdicts. Nobody should be held in prison under these circumstances. Free Samuel Corner. Shut Elbit down. LIFT THE BAN ON PALESTINE ACTION.
ReplyDeleteKemi Badenoch's televised contempt of court should make a retrial impossible.
DeleteBanning Palestine Action was justified by falsely claiming the group had committed three acts of "terrorism". Now, those claims are completely falling apart.
ReplyDeleteThe first supposed "terror" attack was an action in 2022 in Thales, Glasgow, when five activists scaled the roof of the weapons factory. They were charged with breach of the peace. It was later exposed as never being considered terrorism by Police Scotland.
The second was an action against Elbit's weapons factory in Kent, where actionists allegedly caused over a £1 million in damages. After Palestine Action was banned, the CPS dropped the most serious charge of 'aggravated burglary' in this case. It is yet to go to trial.
The third was the Filton action. The first six to go on trial were acquitted by a jury of aggravated burglary and some counts of violent disorder. The jury did not convict any of them of any offences, showing they didn't believe their actions were criminal.
This has left the proscription case against Palestine Action in tatters. It is only a matter of time before the ban will be lifted.
Do not bet against a false flag.
