NOT GUILTY

Another seven Just Stop Oil supporters acquitted after slow march.

When juries hear the motivations for peaceful protests, that motivation being to save lives, they find defendants not-guilty.

This is why juries matter. It’s common sense!

It is July 2026

In the UK, the company LUSH is doing more to oppose the GENOCIDE in Gaza and to protect civil liberties in the UK than the Labour, Tory or Reform parties

And LUSH is doing more than @BBCNews and the rest of the mainstream media

In my adult life, I’ve never lived in a place that restricted speech as much as Starmer’s UK

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

We need to spend more on defense. Look. Think about it. If Russia invaded Britain, they’ll turn us into a sham democracy run by oligarchs, drag us into illegal wars, use state power to suppress activists, and steadily erode free expression.

And we can’t have that.

Zeynep Sonmez says tournament organizers ban her from wearing Palestine-supporting pin

“I used to wear a pin. Tournaments no longer allow me to wear it. We had a discussion with the organizers because the Ukrainian flag is allowed but Palestine is not. They ultimately told us they definitely would not allow it ... I can use the vibration dampener and they can't object to that. That's why I put the watermelon symbol on my racket”

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel
“IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children”
“…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔
Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

Please share & quote tweet to help this post break out of the twitter algorithm prison.

We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way.

Palestinian goalkeeper Saleem Al-Ashqar was shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza. Married just five months ago, he leaves behind a wife expecting their first child. The Palestinian Football Association says more than 1,000 Palestinian athletes have been killed since October 2023.

US lawyer and antiwar activist Dan Kovalik just had his devices seized and was interrogated by counter-terror police at Liverpool Airport

Meanwhile, Palestine solidarity activist Sarah Wilkinson is heading to trial on terrorism charges for a couple of Twitter posts, and refusing to give police her mobile pin

The Canary, one of the UK’s most doggedly antiwar independent media outlets, was just debanked by Lloyd’s

The UK recently refused entry to Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur, two of the most recognizable voices of the left wing of the US Democratic Party, on national security grounds

It did the same this month to US journalist Jeremy Loffredo

UK counter terror police detained and interrogated my colleague, Kit Klarenberg, seizing his devices, and grilling him about his investigative journalism. PM Keir Starmer’s Labour Together slush fund even hired a private intel firm to smear Kit and The Grayzone.

UK police raided journalist Asa Winstanley’s home and illegally seized his devices on suspicion of “encouragement of terrorism”

The UK Crown Prosecution Service attempted to prosecute journalist Richard Medhurst under the Terrorism Act, but failed

The list of journalists and activists repressed by the British regime goes on and on. And they have one thing in common: outspoken opposition to Israel’s genocidal agenda.

Who’s actually in charge in London?

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

The fastest way to relieve the desperate situation in Gaza is to stop Israel with 100% sanctions.

Otherwise, the UK is funding Israel to mass murder by accepting the relief costs.

Will the UK be charging Israel for this afterwards? Or are we sponsoring their genocide?

A damning indictment on how independent media is treated in the UK 🗞️

🟨@TheCanaryUK has been de-banked by Lloyds w/ no explanation
🟨 The bank holds a 'substantial amount' of money and no word on when it will be returned
🟨 Staff currently can't be paid

Sewage dumping the result of decades of infrastructure neglect.

[Dan Kovalik @danielmkovalik]

In the height of irony, I was detained at John Lennon International AirPort in Liverpool, England by anti-terrorism police concerned about my opposition to the Genocide on Gaza and the war on Iran. They seized my phone, computer, fingerprints and DNA sample. More to come . . .

One of the all-time most repulsive NYT headlines:

[ZazaFL @ZazaFL]

Outrageous that the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress held at the weekend in Dublin, with 1,000 attendees and some very high profile speakers has got no coverage here. Irish media does not want to hear from Jews who stand in solidarity with their Palestinian sisters and brothers.
