from Jonathon Porritt on 10.2.26

There will, in time, be a reckoning. Both literally (as in the tens of millions of pounds – and eventually hundreds of millions of pounds — of public money spaffed down this legal drain) and politically. That reckoning will surely be laid at the door of former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and current Prime Minister Keir Starmer (both ardent members of Labour Friends of Israel) for their despicable decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation back in July last year — essentially to cover up their continuing complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

And before anyone starts blaming me and my fellow supporters of the Lift The Ban campaign for such an abuse of public money, let’s just remember what this is all about — in terms of the ‘All Too Real’. In terms of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. (And it really is ongoing, despite the fact that our despicable mainstream media can barely be arsed to provide any serious coverage).

For those who still can’t get their heads around what this means on the ground, here’s one gobbet of genocidal data that you might be able to remember:

Israeli Defence Forces have killed the equivalent of a classroom full of children every single day since the assault on Gaza in October 2023”.
