the #MetPol approach here appears to ne an over-broad and heavy-handed application of #JointEnterprise law to peaceful political protest.

Liberty has wider concerns about abuses of joint enterprise law โ€”https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-joint-enterprise/

Ten years ago in R v Jogee the UKSC radically tightened joint enterprise law โ€” https://yjlc.uk/resources/legal-updates/law-joint-enterprise-put-right-supreme-court โ€” but now the cops seems to be applying this concept to politics. That is a terrifying attack on demicracy.

"Our government is actively facilitating this #genocide", said this peaceful protester in London today, while she was being arrested by the #MetropolitanPolice for "#terrorism".

The #MetPol arrested hundreds of people outside the #USembassy for opposing the ban on #PalestineAction, just days before the Supreme Court #UKSC hearing on the proscription.

its the carefully designed, robustly constructed, viciously policed, normal imperialism.

The system's job is to ensure that a casually-dressed, neighbour-hugging, pub-snacking lad is allowed to care about rough sleepers and better buses ... but to understand clearly that normal people are not allowed to oppose capitalism or genocide.

Watch a full minute of the brave #MetropolitanPolice ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ arresting #mannequins, who are apparently suspected of #terrorism.

It's unclear whether any or all of the mannequins actually oppose #genocide or support #PalestineAction ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. But the heroic #MetPol ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ is taking no chances with #publicSafety. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

#MetPol began arresting these #terrorists before any signs were displayed. They arrested ppl like this woman for supporting ppl holding signs, & arrested ppl with blank placards.

If it wasn't for the courageous cops, countless ppl might have seen blank paper.

The great actor #PatrickStewart died yesterday, aged 86. He was best known for his role in something called #StarTrek, which was apparently a celebrity walking show. Like Strictly, but with cagoules & stout boots.

My favourite Stewart performance was this 2016 short made for #TheGuardian: "What has the ECHR ever done for us?"

It's about the #EuropeanConventionOnHumanRights #ECHR

#Israel election โ€œstolen by Arab partiesโ€, whines #Netanyahu's #Likud party. ๐Ÿ™„

https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2026/1028/1597028-israel-election/

The Joint List & the United Arab List both persuaded people to come out & vote for them. You know, the absolute basic thing that every political party everywhere does every time. ๐Ÿ˜…

That's not stealing. It's democratic politics.

But the #racist Likud party doesn't approve of Arabs voting. It has been suppressing Arab votes for years https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/suppressing-arab-votes-means-undermining-israeli-democracy/

Likud cheating failed. Bwaah!

#Israel's 2026 #Knesset #election is today. It's an #apartheid election: Israeli settlers in the #OccupiedPalestinianTerritories can vote. #Palestinians in the #OPT cannot.

The #ExitPoll won't be released until after voting closes at 8pm GMT. But it is already known that >95% of votes will be cast for parties which support the illegal occupation of the #WestBank & #Gaza, and #genocide in Gaza.

This electon is not about whether to stop genocide. It is about who leads the genocide.

I do like the sight of little Bobby "Where are we now" Jenrick standing like a servant at Farage's feet.

"One day, son, all this quasi-fascist shitshow could be yours". ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ
