Am sure everyone in the UK has seen this, but for others watching the rise in totalitarianism and policing of protest from afar, here is the arrest of Audrey White - a 76 yr old activist here in Liverpool - at an anti-genocide protest in #Liverpool on Sunday (yes, 2025) skwawkbox.org/2025/07/21/v...

Israeli forces have killed more than 50 people waiting in a food queue in Khan Younis, #Gaza, which is being called a massacre. How many massacres make a genocide? What is the point of international law in these cases?

In 1981, MI5 introduced in NI, in secret, a strategy which permitted state agents and informers to commit crimes, including murder, with impunity. Crucially, there was no legal framework. This is what is being covered up and why legal costs are so high. See my book Decades of Deceit.

A new book, Decades of Deceit: The Stalker Affair and its Legacy, traces how a 1984 state killing cover-up in Northern Ireland set a precedent for decades of impunity and secrecy—right up to today’s ‘legacy’ inquests into killings during the 'Troubles'. 🔗 Read the full article: buff.ly/I8UIhIR

Green title on a paper background says "state killings in Northern Ireland and legacy of deceit" with subtitle: "40 years later and still waiting for justice". A book cover is pictured, with the text: "Decades of Deceit: The Stalker Affair and its legacy, by Paddy Hillyard".

A timeline with two years: 1984 and 2024. Under 1984, it lists the details of John Stalker's investigation into three shoot-to-kill incidents by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). It describes that the investigation was blocked and Stalker was pushed out. Under 2024, it marks the passing of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act which reinforced the difficulty of accessing justice. It also states that, despite promises to repeal and replace the Legacy Act, the current government has yet to do either.

Nobody can have thought the intentions in Gaza were not genocidal. There seems three camps: - people who pretend to be shocked; - people who acknowledge genocide and contest it; - people who acknowledge genocide, but it suits their political and ideological beliefs, so name it otherwise.
