Well done to all those taking part in #GreatScottishRun through Glasgow today - we even managed to spot our Rebel Runner and got an “Extinction” (to which we replied “Rebellion”) yelled out by another runner 🏃‍♂️
A bunch of people running under an overpass that has XR flags and banners hung from it. 
The banners say Climate Emergency’ ‘No Future In Fossil Fuels’ & ‘Our Children Deserve A Better Future’

Delek Group, an Israeli energy giant known to operate in illegal settlements in the West Bank, is set to receive £200+ million if the Rosebank oil field is approved. So we've sent a letter to Burnham - warning him that approving Rosebank could breach his new sanctions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.
