To Crack A Nut

No convictions of the Filton Six. Drop all other 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.
