A jury has acquitted an activist of violent disorder at an Israeli-owned arms factory targeted by Palestine Action in August 2024.

William Plastow, 35, was acquitted on Monday at the Old Bailey due to what presiding Judge Patrick Field said was a lack of evidence over the incident in the Filton area of Bristol.

'The prosecution has not produced enough evidence against him to show that he intended that there would be a violent disorder at Filton or that he assisted anyone to commit that offence,' Field said.

🚨 BREAKING: NOT GUILTY FOR SLOW MARCHING

7 Just Stop Oil supporters have been acquitted in Southwark Crown Court today after the jury deliberated for 7 and a half hours.

Their trial took place last week - during the hottest June on record. This is the second acquittal for this action.

They were arrested for marching across Waterloo Bridge in November 2023.

They said it contains over 64,500 videos, 17,900 photos, geolocation data, a live map, a victim database, and a source index spanning more than 300 journalists. The group says more material will be added over time. Link to access is below ⬇️

New Labour is rushing its new National Security State Threats bill through parliament in just one day.

It will be illegal to publish TRUE casualty information from Iran, from Hamas run hospitals in Gaza, or IDF assault details from the resistance in Lebanon.

14 years in jail.

🇬🇧 British journalists reporting from countries such as Iran could face “terrorism” prosecutions under a UK national security bill expected to complete its final stages in Parliament this week, according to legal experts cited by The Guardian.

Expert David Anderson warned the legislation could criminalize foreign correspondents for obtaining information from sources within state-designated groups because it lacks explicit protections for journalists.

Press freedom groups are urging ministers to amend the bill, but the Home Office insists legitimate journalism is protected and that claims to the contrary are false.

🚨 REPORT | Britain ignored more than two years of intelligence warning of a “genocidal” massacre in Sudan’s El Fasher to protect its relationship with the United Arab Emirates, leading war crimes investigator Nathaniel Raymond, head of Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab, has told Parliament in a written statement, the Telegraph reports.

Key Details:

🔸Raymond testified to the House of Commons International Development Committee that his team gave UK officials real-time intelligence as the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces besieged the city, which fell last October.

🔸 He said officials “prioritized” Britain’s “economic, security, and diplomatic relationships with the UAE above preventing the intentional starvation, forced displacement, and the genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians.”

🔸 Yale’s analysis estimates at least 60,000 people may have been killed within weeks of the city’s fall, a toll Raymond noted was about six times that of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide.

🔸 As the UN Security Council “penholder” leading on Sudan, Britain had “more than sufficient” intelligence to act, he said, including sanctioning UAE officials to cut “the clandestine UAE pipeline of advanced weaponry flowing to the RSF.”

🔸 Raymond also said that in May 2024, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) officials asked his university lab, rather than British intelligence, to publicly release intercepted phone data linking the UAE to the RSF, because Britain faced “significant private pressure” from Abu Dhabi.

🔸 He explained that the RSF briefly paused its assault after a UN resolution, on Abu Dhabi’s instruction, to gauge whether there would be consequences. When the UAE faced no further consequences, the attack resumed.
The failure, he said, spanned two governments, covering Foreign Secretaries David Cameron, David Lammy, and Yvette Cooper.

The United States, the U.K., and much of Europe are helping Israel slowly exterminate Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians. Palestine’s envoy to the U.N. explains how Israel is deliberately blocking the most basic humanitarian aid needed for survival, more than eight months into a so-called ceasefire.

And then they say that #Islam is the cause of violence and terrorism in the world and want us to believe that.

Who started World War I?
Not Muslims.

Who started World War II?
Not Muslims.

Who killed about 20 million of Australia’s indigenous people?
Not Muslims.

Who dropped the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan?
Not Muslims.

Who killed more than 100 million Native Americans in South America?
Not Muslims.

Who killed about 50 million Native Americans in North America?
Not Muslims.

Who kidnapped more than 180 million Africans as slaves from Africa, of whom about 88% died and were thrown into the oceans?
Not Muslims.

First, we must define terrorism or understand how terrorism is viewed by non-Muslims.
If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it is called a crime; but if a Muslim commits it, it is called terrorism.

We must stop dealing with double standards.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Is Labour hiding the UK’s role in a massacre that took place in India over forty years ago?

In 1984, the Indian army carried out a mass killing at the Sikh faith's holiest site in Amritsar. Decades later, our editor Phil Miller uncovered documents at the UK archives which showed a British SAS officer had given advice to India on how to carry out that raid.

The Sikh community has been calling for a full public inquiry for over ten years, something which Labour when in opposition repeatedly promised to give to the Sikh community.

But we are now two years into a Labour government and there's still no sign of an inquiry.

REVEALED: Jewish activists @JAZA_UK have shown us material from inside an Israeli property event in London yesterday, which shows that illegal settlements on Palestinian land were on sale in the UK.

Activists gained access to the event, spoke to numerous developers about the properties for sale in Israeli settlements - which are illegal under British and international law - before they were ejected for disrupting the speeches.

The Board of Deputies, which calls itself a representational body for British Jews, claimed that all properties being sold were inside Israel, however these pamphlets clearly show the opposite is true.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is absolutely insane.

The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.

They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.

They killed five people!

Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.

Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.

A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.

[Chris Williamson @DerbyChrisW]

Last year Mr Justice Johnson granted an early release from jail for far-right Zionist extremist, Tommy Robinson. But he's just sentenced 4 Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even tho they weren't prosecuted for terrorism.

Conflict of interest?

“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.”

Palantir. IT'S WORSE Than You Think @carolecadwalla

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:

• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.

• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.

• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.

• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.

• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.

• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).

This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.

This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.
