God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Great news: the High Court has granted permission for a full judicial review of the government's order proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act. Let's hope he government's idiotic and draconian order is overturned.

No one can ever be accused of ‘wasting police time’ again. I’ve just watched a video of police arresting a 75 year old ex teacher for peacefully protesting against genocide. George Orwell would be proud. Didn’t have Labour being more authoritarian than Braverman on my bingo card.

It is also reprehensible for the manner in which it has diluted the seriousness of terrorism, as a concept and a legal designation. If you want to pursue Palestine Action for criminal damage then go right ahead. But they are not terrorists under any normal definition of the word.

Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.
