🚨BREAKING -- A judge has ruled that four Palestine Action activists will be sentenced with a "terrorism connection".

Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head appeared in Woolwich Crown Court today after being convicted of criminal damage at an Elbit Systems factory in 2024.

Judge Johnson ruled: "I am sure each of the defendant's offence involved serious damage to property, was designed to influence the UK government, to intimidate a section of the public, and was for the purpose of advancing a political or ideological cause".

The section of the public referred to by Johnson was employees of and companies linked to Elbit Systems, which he said constitutes a "section of the public".

Johnson added: "It follows I am bound by this legislation to find that the offence in each case had a terrorist connection and apply that as an aggravating factor in increasing the seriousness of the offence".

This is the first time in British history that terrorism provisions have been used against direct action activists.

Proud to stand with 500,000 people at the @UKTogetherAll march today 💛

There's one minority we should be angry at: the billionaires funding division while working class people can’t make ends meet.

Organise in every workplace, every community. Fight racism and defend the marginalised. That's how we win.

The children of Gaza have been abandoned.

They've suffered trauma beyond our imagination.

But we can help reduce their suffering.

Hello, this is Yanis Varoufakis with a piece of news that would have been hilarious if it weren’t so scary. This morning, two policemen appeared on my doorstep to serve a summons ordering me to the police headquarters to be interrogated by the Greek DEA, our drug busting police department. Not as a witness, expert or not, but as the accused. Accused of what?

Shortly after New Year’s, I appeared on a podcast organised by young people to answer their questions on everything that concerns Gen Z today: social media, the meaning of life, their job prospects, what I call technofeudalism etc. At some point, they asked me if I had ever used drugs. Determined not to do a Bill Clinton (remember the laughable “I didn’t inhale”?), I said I had. Apart from pot, I told them, I had one experience of taking ecstasy in Sydney 36 years ago. It was pleasant, I danced for 16 hours effortlessly but then, I added, it gave me a migraine for a week – and so I never used again. That was my introduction to making the point that, however pleasant drug taking may seem, there is a price to pay. And that the ultimate price is dependence, addiction – “the end of liberty”, I said emphatically.

Do you see where this is going? Yes, the Greek police have opened an investigation of me under the charge of... aiding and abetting the narco-mafia. [Do me a favour folks: Please don’t tell Trump, OK?]

Seriously now, at a time of war, genocide, stupendous exploitation and so on, my little trouble with the inane Greek police is neither here nor there. But it is important. Here, in Europe, many people still live under the illusion that we have liberty, rationality and freedom. We don’t. Dark forces are at work, pushing us into a postmodern version of the Dark Ages.

So, beware, people! They are out to take away the last remnants of autonomy and freedom we have left. Resistance is, literally, existence.

This cannot be the reality for the people educating the next generation.

Our demands are not only fair they are essential for this country.

My constituent, Amu, is on Day 40 of their hunger strike in prison.

Last month, I requested an urgent meeting with the Justice Secretary to discuss their wellbeing.

He has now officially declined my request.

What an absolute disgrace.
