General British politics discussion thread

You've tried to strawman in holocaust and now internment. That shows the level of desperation.

Do you think anyone learnt about Gaza off the back of these eejits or not?

Yes or no will suffice no further strawmen required.

only in very very specific cases are there exceptions, i am confident these individuals wouldn't meet such.
clearly there is no evidence of terrorism but the government are going to hold them indefinitely if they can get away with it.
no they are on remand over the legal limit for being against the genocide, for their actual law breaking they would have been tried a bit ago as criminal damage is generally a very easy case to prove,
and that's even with the backlog as the government have shown they can fast track cases when it suits.
ultimately you have to understand the sinister behaviour of the current labour government to really understand what is actually going on.
the Uk is facilitating and supporting the genocide in every way, they have shown it and are even doing spy flights for israel.

Youre the one that said "draw attention" originally. Now you are saying "they arent doing it to make people aware of it". Seems your argument is with tell me how, tell me how.

yes i see that now on a re-read, however the majority of them aren't far left or grifters either.

a small amount will be and of course the far right are famous for grifting but general activists are mostly centre or around it.

the problem now is that with british politics moving so far to the right, anything in relation to activism and protest is seen as far left and must be opposed and crushed, even if it means the erosion of people's rights.

the british government think they are special hense the bogus terror charges.

no they are held on remand way over the legal limit for simply being against the genocide as the longest few being held are the longest remand prisoners in the UK i believe.

the government have proven they can fast track trials before and as the terror charges are bogus there will be no evidence for it, but there would be for the low level criminal damage and the british government would surely want to prove their case if they have one.

To be clear, you said

I think it's profoundly disgusting to disingenuously conflate criticism of activists and far left grifters with support for genocide.

The imprisoned Suffragettes frequently went on hunger strike from 1909 onward and contrary to what we are hearing here, such hunger strikes were largely deemed a success, generating widespread public sympathy and support for their cause.

incorrect they are being treated very differently to other criminals hense they are protesting about it and being non-babies.

they are subject to the highest levels of restrictions possible and are receiving treatment that breaches their human rights on a daily basis.
