Those charged with terrorism for supporting Palestine Action will have no jury in trials limited to 36 minutes each, with prison sentences up to six months. These are the plans for Starmer Courts for mass trials of anti-Genocide protestors.
Time for the people of the UK to birthstrike against fascism.
Collapse the birth rate into the fucking ground. It’s the one real lever of power that the general populace still retains over the wealthy/leadershit.
Side note, I do laugh about all the people who exited the US for the UK, thinking it would be better… and finding it is somehow exactly the same! (Or worse, but with healthcare)
I mean there is more than just healthcare…
Quality of food is so much higher, actual walkable cities, far less gun violence etc.
You don’t have to worry about gun violence when they take you from the street for talking.
UK is firmly on my “do not travel” list. I have a personal rule about not traveling to fascist states.
I wonder what FlyingSquid is up to right now.
He killed himself
Where did you hear that?
He was telling people he was moving to the UK to get his daughter “out of the US” (lol) and then he was going to kill himself. He wanted to be dead, so let’s not get too sad that absolute prick got what he was planning for.
I didn’t express any emotion, just asked where you heard that.
So you’re just making an assumption, or an educated guess?
I didn’t mean to suggest you were. It was my emotion about that jerk.
And yes, I have zero confirmation— but lots of knowledge of his intentions, that he had repeated many, many times.
What a shocker to see this coming from the UK equivalent of the Democrats. Perhaps years of voting for the “lesser evil” isn’t panning out like people thought it would, but thank god people compromised on their beliefs and fell in line to get these politicians elected. “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” and all that jazz. Imagine how bad things would be if those other guys got elected.
Imagine how bad things would be if those other guys got elected.
I mean, aren’t we seeing exactly how that plays out in the US? We have masked armed thugs breaking into people’s homes and disappearing them, while the new “Department of War” launches missiles at random fishing boats.
Man, it’s almost like allowing the criminalization speech or association is a bad idea, and puts tools directly into the hands of fascists.
If only somebody had foreseen this when the UK started jailing people for state disapproved speech years ago.
They’ve been frantically confiscating any remotely sharp object for years, and nobody has firearms. The populace has been disarmed for many years now.
3d printers? Pipes, nails, and cordite/fulminates?
Factory built firearms I can believe, but I don’t believe that the populace would be incapable of constructing their own, nor would be unwilling to if push came to shove.
It is a modern phenomenon, but there is no effective way to fully disarm a population without vetting and restricting the imports and purchases within the entire economy (including the internet/communications infrastructure), which I’d imagine the UK doesn’t want to do.
I mean, there’s always the classic chair leg with a few nails in it.
You can always improvise a blunt weapon, but realistically I think something like a general strike is more likely to happen.
Might be time for the King’s citizens to invest in smuggling. If European coyotes can get an entire person across the Channel, it’s not impossible.
That’s insane!
What is the world coming to?
Blatant fascism in the United States of America.
The fact that arousing suspicion of something is enough to be condemned is wild.
