People talk of a gentle slide into authoritarianism, but the size of yesterday's majority to proscribe Palestine Action (385 to 26 votes) is no “gentle slide”! It is a headlong charge! If the bill goes through, sharing this video could get you 14 years in prison www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

Barbra Streisand's attempt to remove a photo of her Malibu mansion from the Internet backfired resulting in the photo going viral & creating a new term: "the Streisand effect" This week, Hungary's failed attempt to ban #BudapestPride has led to the coining of a new word: "Orbanned" #Pride #Budapest

It’s simple #TakeOneLeave send out free banners - “If you need, take one. If you can help leave one” People put them up beside a rail of warm clothes The newest rail in Kentish Town was set up by a 15 year-old school boy near to where a homeless man froze to death in January👇
