"The most sinister strategy has been to abuse counter-terrorism laws"
Abuse? Strange choice of words. The counter-terrorism laws were constructed precisely so they could be used to attack our hard-won rights, so the laws themselves were an abuse of our rights, not their use and it was all entirely predictable, indeed abuse is built-in to these laws, that's their purpose in first place.
I think you missed my point Baz, they're NOT counter terrorism laws and they never have been, they're laws designed to suppress opposition to the state's policies on all kinds of things, civil rights, trade union rights, rights to protest whatever the state decides but all done under the guise of fighting terrorism, the catchall. In the past the state had sedition laws, treason laws in fact still exist. If you remember, back in the early 2000s when these laws started to appear, liberals et al, said, 'well they won't be used against law-abiding citizens. Hah! There's no longer such an animal as a law-abiding citizen! What we have is Fascism, which as ever, justifies itself as being a protector of law and order.
As a former Police & Crime Commissioner I am appaled at how our civil rights have been eroded in such a short period of time whilst my ex Commissioner colleagues sit on their hands and do nothing to protect our rights against an overbearing state.
When are British people going to accept that their political process has been captured? When are they going to face up to the fact that this Party Political Potemkin Village is nothing more than a smokescreen to confuse and manipulate them into maintaining a status quo which has no interest in the welfare and justice that they should be demanding? The corporations and their oligarchs control Britain. Stop paying taxes that are supporting a corrupt and venal system that needs to be smashed and reconstituted with failsafe mechanisms to avoid their exploitation and manipulation.
It is very clear to me that democracy does not exist in the world, despite being given much lip service by our corrupt, authoritarian leaders, while they turn a blind eye to mass murder and erasure.
Our 'government' is nothing of the sort. It's an unrepresentative police state which supports terrorism (Israel). They no longer have the interests of the British people in their policies - they seem to be nothing more than pawns of Israeli zionists.
Moreover, The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Sentencing Act 2020 make clear that in the absence of actual harm, intent to cause harm or likelihood of harm there can be no offence to answer or sentence.
Sounds almost as bad as Canada. Finland just censored everything the do not like. eg damages from heavily promoted Pfizer injections against Covid 19. Wrongdoing, malpractice, incompetence by untouchable Finnish doctors who ruined my back, putting me in a wheelchair.
Wow. We're going backwards, I see. Corruption and apartheid are the new 'normal' Hatred is definitely trying to win but thanks to good compassionate people, love and JUSTICE will prevail
Is it not just wonderful to be living in StarmerLand where you are told constantly that you are lucky to Live in the Western Hemisphere Free World. But if you stop and think about the pros and cons of living in a Democracy there is no distinction between living in the UK, USA, EU, all Democracies we are told every waking moment. Or Russia China Taiwan, I do not see hundreds of thousands of Normal working Russian Citizens flooding into the UK USA OR THE EU, the only Russian citizens / immigrants we get are the Russian Mafia crooks people traffickers money launderers and Murderers. And Vladimir Putin thanks our Governments Kindly for taking these undesirable people out of Mother Russia, All the following Leaders of the following Countries also send their gratitude the Zionist Jews, the French the Italian’ the Greeks, the Somali, the Nigerian’, the Lybian’ the Albanians, the Romanians, the Hungarians, the Turks, the Latvians, the Lithuanian’,the Bulgarians, et al Welcome to the Hell of StarmerLand the Democratic Republic of Fuck knows Where?

While I don't support Antisemitism I do feel empathy for the people in Gaza. Beyond that I am a free speech absolutist -- I support free speech even when I disagree with it. The UK is losing it's mind lately, even jailing people for what they say online. In my latest essay I discuss how Facebook is putting the screws to free speech by limiting how often you can post an article. Zuckerbergs spots have not changed. He is globalist censoring anything the goes against the globalist agenda.
Freedom of speech was not common before the American Revolution and the establishment of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Had it not been for Thomas Paine -- and his essay "Common Sense" -- we may have never declared our independence from Great Britain. A free marketplace of ideas is essential to making wise choices as both an individual and as a nation. And it was the suppression of free speech which led to the Covid mRNA shot that killed 17 million world wide. Those of us that tried to warn our fellow citizens were censored and suppressed by our government and Tech Platforms like Facebook and Youtube. We must fight to insure that never happens again.

To quote above "And while today, you might think it's wrong for Palestine Action to break into a military base" - have you seen the security on military bases.... of course you have seen some, but all of it ???....not a chance.
This more BS, like the climate change / stop oil etc ..... to install fear and of course divide us, so it easier to control us.
The thing is, it is not just international law this gov't is breaking but UK LAW, which forbids sending arms to a country that is likely to use them against civilians. It is clear Israel is - they call their current strategy, of killing civilians until arms are lain down, Yeshuda (sounded like). Yes they have a name for it, like the Hannibal Directive (for killing their own people).

Ok William even if you are right those counter terrorism laws could still be being abused. I think Ricky’s got a point.
I think you missed my point Baz, they're NOT counter terrorism laws and they never have been, they're laws designed to suppress opposition to the state's policies on all kinds of things, civil rights, trade union rights, rights to protest whatever the state decides but all done under the guise of fighting terrorism, the catchall.

Cheers William, I think I may have overstepped my competency in interpreting law, haven’t got much so it wasn’t difficult. 🥴
Dear Baz, don't put yourself down so. These laws are clever, designed to decieve, to give the appearence of one thing whilst doing another.
Next time I’m in the UK, I’m gonna have to hand myself into the cops, I think I’ve probably been in breach of those laws since 2005.😳

Its gonna get even uglier.

Correct.
These people are not our leaders; at best they are narcissistic public servants working for psychopathic corporate networks.
Their statutes have no power over the living when we stand as such.

A sad state of affairs.
