    this is hilarious from the shithole country that locks people up for saying the words “palestine” and “action” in that order

      I’m British and then that happened my take was basically, Palestine Action was a proscribed group and technically it’s against the law in the UK to support a proscribed group so I figured it was just a temporary issue where the law was being applied too broadly… But it’s been years, and it’s still an issue. I really hope Burnham addresses this when he becomes PM later this month.

    Maybe stop locking up protestors who are trying to bring awareness to genocide and the literal destruction of the planet.

    One of those things that is both true and wildly misleading. Maybe sex offenders aren’t the ones to be considering for early release when there’s people sat in jail for, and don’t get me wrong, very real crimes but crimes that didn’t have actively attacking and abusing someone at their core 🤔
