Reposted by Neal ChampionRobert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · 18hIt’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”. 181087390

Reposted by Neal ChampionThe Empty City @davidallengreen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yes, there are technical, formal legal reasons why terrorism law is applied to protesters carrying placards, but not to political activists slashing boats.
