Led By Donkeys, should be classifies as terrorists also, by that definition.
The court literally found that the actions of some of their members breached the threshold of terrorism.
"not all of them are terrorists" is not an argument that would see much favour for other organisations. I have no idea what way the appeal will go, but it is a slightly odd judgement.

500 charged for holding up signs and protesting seems very Trump like.
It was "very small number" not "not all of them". The FT reported it as: "nature and scale of Palestine Action's activities" have not "reached the level, scale and persistence" to justify the consequences of proscription.
Terrorism is not their raison d'etre. They are a self professed direct action group who say they will damage property linked to the Israeli war machine. The High Court pointed out its activists could still be prosecuted under regular criminal laws if necessary (mostly for their actions of damage to property).
The suffragettes damaged property.
Held up as heroes by the people who condemn PA
And many of them female members of parliament including the minister who originally advocated the proscription.
rather late here but it was an absolutely fantastic result today. a fantastic victory for democracy, a fantastic kick in the teath for the failed labour government, and the supporters enablers and agents of genocide. now for the labour government to lose the appeal and we are away. imagine being so weak and pathetic that you would go against your own people all the time for a foreign terrorist genocidal racist apartheid failed state which gives you nothing in return? well that's british labour.
The definition of Israeli war machine extends to whatever they like, obviously.
Well, there are criminal laws there in the UK to deal with people who decide to damage property. Nobody is suggesting that activists who go down this route should be let off scot free and without any consequences. If we go back to the days of the Suffragettes, many of them indeed did end up in prison.
What have the attacked that you feel is not reasonably related to the Israeli War Machine™?
insurance companies, RAF bases, arms companies wirh no connection to Israel, but happen to make weapons.
This reads like you've looked in to this and know like 15% of the full story.
all have connections to israel whether it be exporting weapons or insuring those that do or having investments in israel.
and in the case of the RAF providing flights to gain information to facilitate the genocide among other flights.
Ghoul Cooper still stating that the strong advice she recieved was that Palestine Action were a violent organisation and had to be banned under terrorist legislation so that the thousands who support it can be arrested and intimidated….. she forgot to mention that the advice came from the zionist lobby which Labour has welcomed with open arms.
Saw a video of Jess Philips being questioned about supporting the proscription of Palestine Action, which she said she absolutely agreed with. The interviewer asked her would she then have supported describing the suffragettes as terrorists and she floundered completely.
The interaction happened in some public location like a conference hall and Jess made for the sanctity of the ladies toilets to avoid the questions. She kept insisting she supported the ban because of "the evidence". The suffragettes put bombs through peoples letter boxes amongst other actions resulting in the deaths of 4 people by the way. Palestine action did nothing of the sort.
These last 2 years have shown conclusively how susceptible many politicians are to those who lobby them way ahead of what the will of the people who they represent might be about a topic.
Report on Mandelson's ties to Russia.
Journalist John Sweeney has claimed pressure from Mandelson led to a Newsnight episode on his ties to Russia not being broadcast in 2017.
Reports that when he was EU Trade Commissioner, he flew on a Gulfstream provided by a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, to meet Putin. Reports he then supported reducing EU aluminium tariffs which helped make Oleg Deripaska one of the richest men in Russia.
Brussels sources said EU security services warned their British equivalents in 2008 that Moscow was targeting Mandelson through his relationship with Mr Deripaska, and had been tracking his relationship with Epstein since 2006. As a result of the tip-off, Mandelson is understood to have been interviewed by British security officials.Earlier this month, the MoS revealed that MI6 was told Mandelson could be a risk to British security because of his connections with Russian intelligence, and that senior security officials believed his friend Jeffrey Epstein was running a vast ‘honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB.

The obvious question the interviewer should have asked was "advice from whom?".
Maybe they'll be more careful from where they get their advice from in the future.
They'll have learned a lesson from this, not Cooper, but those that advised her. You can be sure of that.
Throughout 24/25, my TikTok account was continually shown Palestinian, and Palestine supporting videos.
For the last couple months, they've reduced by 99.9% and been replaced with Israeli and Judism positive videos. I block the posters of these videos, and identify them as being of no interest to me, and still they come.
This relates to the Obamas former speech writer saying how problematic it was to challenge the narrative around Gaza "through a wall of dead children" that people are constantly seeing. And Nethanyahu himself said they needed to win the battle on social media.
Why do you think videos on TikTok have shifted to Israel supporting? Can you think of any change that happened recently that could have influenced this?
The same people are developing the strategies that led to Yvette Cooper identifying banner waving pensioners as terrorists. They'll learn from this, that's for sure.
Can you think of any change that happened recently that could have influenced this?
Maybe you could more explicitly tell us why you think the algorithm on the Chinese state controlled social media network has, in your perception, changed?
Cause it certainly will have nothing to do with the British government.
Certainly.

The content recommendation algorithm at the heart of TikTok - determining which videos show up on the app's For You feed - has been licensed to tech firm Oracle.Headed by Trump ally Larry Ellison, Oracle already oversees TikTok US user data under a previous arrangement set up over security concerns called Project Texas.But the company will now secure more of the app, including by retraining and updating its recommendation algorithm based on US user data.

Last sentence is of particular interest.
The UK government is a pawn in todays world more than it is a player.
Are you in the US? Cause that is the only jurisdiction this applies to.
Otherwise it remains Chinese state controlled media.
In neither case does the UK govt have anything to do with it, so I'm not sure what your point is?
I was living in the US when I made the account and so it still behaves as a US account, even though I now live in Europe.
And if you can't read my posts and understand my point, I'm not going to go out of my way walking you through them.
I know you don't need to be taken by the hand. Take them, or leave them.
Suella strikes again:-
Daniel Sugarman on X: "What is anyone meant to think when they see this sort of bizarre comment? You were a “Tory” for decades. You served as a “Tory” Secretary of State. Does that mean that until 2 weeks ago the truth never bothered you either? https://t.co/oKrsmZqFIs" / X
At this stage I've stopped considering how deep Mandleson has got himself into things. It is not even subtle.
Not sure about the claim Epstein himself working for the KGB (or whatever it called these days). Reluctant to believe absolutely everything that is being said but would not be surprised if they had not at least infimtrated Eistein's operations.

Farage doesn't make many mistakes strategy wise. Unfortunately.
But he has welcome a lot of potential headaches in to the camp with the quality of Tory he has attracted.
For the most part. Helps that the media is foaming at the bit to get him elected though.
Very true and he'll likely have Musk boosting him heading in to 29 and also possibly the US administration if the current major republican players are still on the scene.
And that a large chunk of the UK electorate are as thick as a bag of hammers.
