If you’re breaking into a building to smash up property as a political protest, that’s criminal damage. If the cops show up, you either surrender (in order to make your political point in a trial) or you run away. Attack them with sledgehammers, hi, you’re a terrorist.

@Daniel_Sugarman @DarrenJohnson66 Look, it’s simple - middle-class people are allowed to beat up the police, but working-class people aren’t.

One of them attacked a female police officer with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine. Are people seriously suggesting that doesn’t warrant a prison sentence?

@RobertMSterling How much did he steal from you personally?

[Tony Dowson @TonyDowson5]

"He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead."

How is he overturning a conviction? He's taking into applying statutory aggravators as part of sentencing for criminal damage.

Also, Nazis ffs?

Any Labour MP commenting on the sentencing of the pally action 4 should have the whip suspended.

It’s wholly inappropriate for the party in power to comment on actual cases

The Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) already have a policy of arresting people who chant “globalise the intifada.” We have identified this professional protester as Monday Malachi Rosenfeld. It’s about time they took action against her.

If you are publicly defending someone who smashed a police officer’s spine with a sledgehammer then you are a serious fuck-up who needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

[Mark Wallace @wallaceme]

Ram-raiding a defence factory, equipped with weapons, then breaking a police officer’s spine with a sledgehammer is not “protest”.

When I was young, they were bursting into people's houses to shoot them in front of their screaming children.
Now they are insufferable Marxist schoolteachers who cannot define what a woman is.

As a matter of law and fact, he assaulted a police officer. As a matter of law and fact, the male responsible for breaking an officer’s nose in the Airport case was prosecuted and convicted.

Thought his type were all for free speech?

They used a sledgehammer to break a female police officer’s spine.

Just think, in hundreds of years we will all be reading about the four swampy spazmos.

This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more.

This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead.

Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards.

What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning.

Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to.

I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Remember this is the man who attacked police officers for stopping the Golders Green stabber.
Now he’s on the side of the people who attacked police officers - including one who had her back broken after being smashed with a sledgehammer.
He is not a serious man. At all.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

We going to see Amnesty and the Green Party say the Judge was being too harsh here too? Or is just bourgeois kids who get a pass on acts of violence?

[Danny Shaw @DannyShawNews]

Description by @libertyhq of what Palestine Action activists did at Elbit Systems as “civil disobedience” is a gross distortion of reality. They caused £1.2m damage, left staff in fear, and one activist attacked a police officer with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Smashing up other people’s property is illegal. Injuring a police office with a sledge hammer is illegal.

Having a political motivation for illegal acts doesn’t stop it being illegal.

Charlotte Head and Leona Kamio, 6 years 45 days for Criminal Damage

[Brian Spurrell @BrianSpanner1]

Yeah.
It must have been a tough day whittling down that one applicant for the role.

[Andrew Doyle @andrewdoyle_com]

So the Green Party’s official position is that fracturing a police officer’s spine with a sledgehammer ought not to be criminal?

Good to know.
