That would require some serious sorcery capabilities, that would. Bring it on. I'd love to see the mannequin imbued with life, Pygmalion style. Then it can face the justice it so clearly deserves. I mean, it can't exactly answer any questions on the stand otherwise. Nor even enter a plea. So the CPS is going to have to come up with something.
Then again, clearly the CPS does know a thing or two about magic, given how much incriminating evidence regarding VIPs (Very Important Pedos) it keeps vanishing into thin air.
The prisons must be seriously overcrowded with all of these elderly terrorists. Perhaps they need to be very closely guarded before they commit more terrorists crimes but the police feel bad about it. . Maybe the police should take these terrorists into their homes then.
I can add another charge to the sheet too come to think of it. I'm sure it's actually that transgender mannequin we've all heard about infamous for committing assaults in women's restrooms.
Serious menace 2 society they are. These transwomenequins.
It would be a grave mistake to believe, as is claimed by Defend Our Juries, that the forces of the capitalist state will be “overwhelmed” by protests like Saturday’s, rendering them unable to uphold repressive laws. Mass arrests have in fact escalated both in numbers and in brutality, driven by the political imperative of silencing opposition to the Gaza genocide and demonstrating the readiness of the Starmer Labour government to do what is demanded of it in imposing the dictates of the ruling elite. The arrests are being followed up with charges that in some cases can lead to 14 years’ imprisonment upon conviction.
Waging trade and military war abroad demands class war at home to crush political and social opposition and militarise economic life through the destruction of essential social provisions and the imposition of savage levels of exploitation.
This cannot be opposed by individual acts of conscience, however bravely expressed. It means the mobilisation of the millions of workers, particularly the younger generation, who want to put an end to Starmer’s hated government of austerity, genocide and war.
It’s altogether reassuring that our understaffed police are able to prioritise their time energy and resources to tackle the most serious crimes facing our nation and our people. It’s only right that some minor happenings that barely effect people’s lives such as burglary are left aside in the efforts to proscribe free speech especially when it calls out complicity in genocide.
I was there with my sign supporting a proscribed organisation. First of all having reached 70 in August I would hardly describe myself as you have. Insulting. No zimmer frame and feeling quite as sprightly as I did when arrested at Greenham common all those years ago.
I am sad about the polarization and accusation. Starmer is a Zionist and the powers that be have huge stakes in Israel and I am horrified by what is going on. That’s why I was there and will continue to show up and be willing to be arrested. But I don’t want people around me escalating things, shouting abuse at police and afterwards playing the victim. We are all angry but we have to do better than throw insults at each other. Please can you think about this. It’s easy to sit on the sofa and throw around analyses of the state of things, but my objective is to be the smallest bit better than that. Nonviolent protest was intended and many of the protestors were not nonviolent. Whether you feel NVDA is not enough or not the right approach you should not throw sticks and stones at those who believe they are in fact showing up to a DoJ organised event that is requested to be remain nonviolent. Whether you believe in it or whether it has a chance to succeed is another thing
I’ll be 71 in November. I did feel a little uneasy about the seeming ageism at first, but then I read it as amusing hyperbole. For once I don’t mind, because I think it helped get the point across.
I wouldn't wager the non-nonviolent ones were spycops and MI5 agitators. They do that sort of thing a lot of course. Agent provocateurs etc. I think Starmer knows a fair bit about that sort of thing.
Personal reports suggests that at least some of the angry people came from their own place of accusation and blame, pain and experience …it’s not always helpful to hide the personal behind other stakeholders
Can someone explain to me why this is a priority for the police? Is crime so low that they need some diversion from sitting around eating biscuits and drinking cups of tea?
Sir Keir 'The Shekel' Starmer's government is not the first to recognise its people as an annoying obstacle, always in the way of getting an agenda achieved. That it has done so is proved by its use of the police against ordinary people. And putting the armed forces at Israel's disposal has shown that they will happily carry out genocide too. Which, as The Shekel and his fellow Zionist/racists will have observed, is really quite easy to get away with these days. The Genocide Party. When arresting pensioners doesn't work, it's always good to add another string to your bow.
"Plasticine Action is a terrorist organisation and anyone who thinks otherwise should be driven into the sea. "
Right, lad..yer nabbed..our AI algorithm put two and too together and presumed 'into the sea' implied from the river; which vicious phrase sets off nine-bell alarms on our hijacked Golan moral high ground..
“they feel ashamed by the arrests and even their managers don’t support the legisation, but they’re obligated to uphold the law” - or what, They’ll have to arrest themselves? You are not obligated to uphold the law if it is immoral and goes against your conscience. Also, let’s not forget the UK government is now breaking international law by being complicit in genocide.
World’s gone mad, ironically that mannequin will probably get ‘life’.

They’d probably hit it with having Plastercine Action adjacent views too.

Don’t they know that they’ll be radicalising the other prisoners?
Exactly 🤷
Double jeopardy.
That mannequin is in serious trouble.
I can add another charge to the sheet too come to think of it. I'm sure it's actually that transgender mannequin we've all heard about infamous for committing assaults in women's restrooms.
Serious menace 2 society they are. These transwomenequins.
After the UK police have a romp with it!
Steady on lad, they’ll definitely make it talk though.
😂😂Arresting a mannequin for terrorism must be the nadir of idiocy from Starmer , his Home Secretary and the Police .
Monty Python would be having a ball with this Fascist rubbish .
Agree Elizabeth but ultimately it will backfire on them and prove to be a spectacular own goal.
We must hope so 👍🏻

Indeed..Zionism is a bigger operation than I$ra€£...just as Nazism was a bigger operation than Germany.
Don't forget racism which underpins so much of Labour "thinking".
Your word “thinking” requires a list of explanatory detail when referring to both major parties . Here in Australia as well .
(Translate , “are there any votes in it ?”)

This is a genius article. Thank you.

Good points

Because, as Maggot Hatcher stated, TINA ru£€$...There Is No Alternative.
Dubya confirmed the tota£itariani$m with his 'With U$ or Against U$'.

890 arrests, mostly pensioners. It would be laughable if it wasn't so sinister. It's scarily insane.
Unfortunately our government have been “Drinking the Kool-Aid given to them by Benjamin Netanyahu, Mossad and IDF.
This Kool-Aid made them blind and stupid.
It appears that barely any “Koolaid” was needed . They appear already half way there , as democracy crumbles .
'Assaulting a police officer' : The assailant repeatedly attacked my boot with their head sah!
To paraphrase Aleister Crowley, 'It's reassuring to be hit on the head now and again by fascists of whose existence one was previously unaware'.
Starmer’s dystopia marches on, whereto is anyone’s guess.
The Trump Riviera in liberated Gaza?
And PS yes you are being ageist, stereotyping and characterizing and all those things it is wise to avoid
