Starmer is determined to advance UK police state to protect Israel. A few parliamentarians object
Yvette Cooper has confirmed the government intends to declare anti-genocide group Palestine Action a banned terrorist group, listed alongside the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda.
The proscription motion will be debated a week from today. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn slammed the move – part of Starmer’s war on pro-Palestine and anti-genocide speech and journalism – as an ‘absurd’, ‘authoritarian’ and ‘draconian’ attack on democracy:
Former Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott said that Starmer and co need education on the meaning of terrorism if they are ignoring Israel’s genocide and calling those who try to stop it terrorists.
The announcement came as the Met Police violently suppressed protests outside against the Orwellian move:
More protests are expected in the run-up to the debate. Democracy must defeat Zionism to survive.

Breaking News
Iran has attacked Qatar + US Dohar Base. with missiles.
And Iran informed the USA HOURS before the attack. There’s still only one side playing by the “rules” of war, and it isn’t Starmer’s version of allies and genocidal maniacs killing starving people queuing for food.
I guess that is why Qatar closed its airspace several hours ago and why there have been no US casualties.
Isn’t this pantomime a repeat of what happened last time?
“Isn’t this pantomime a repeat of what happened last time?”
Presumably this refers to the Kabuki theatre which took place over the weekend and possibly that same farce which occurred in Syria in April 2017 and April 2018 all designed to spare the blushes of the mardy arses running this shit show.
Dave – I was referring to the direct confrontations between Israel and Iran after Israel’s attack on Iran’s Damascus embassy in 2024
Which represents merely one among many other examples of from the same pantomime script.
….. and..
…….the example you provided was merely one among several similar instances. Clearly indicating a pattern.
However, it seems reasonable to surmise from your response that you never learned the art of joining the dots. No wonder you struggle with the complexity of reality.
Dave – ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There’s bound to be someone out there who will be suitably impressed 🥱, if only we were all as clever as you think you are. 😔
Are we keeping you awake, Billy?
LABOUR [sic] government takes 14 days to proscribe Palestinian Action, but in 14 MONTHS plus WEEKS fails to take action to stop providing weaponry including bullets to help kill Palestinians in the most filmed genocide in history. What a load of principle-lacking, money obsessed, genocide-death-cult-loving bigots they are.
“Hey Cooper what do you say?
How many Palestinian kids have you killed today?”
(Arms sales to Israel, UK spy planes providing Israel with intelligence, allowing Israel’s Merchants of Death to manufacture in the UK – all Genocidal crimes by the UK Lab Govt & previous Tory Govt.)
WE are in tune with international law and the ICJ’s ruling that there is a case of
“Plausible Genocide” against Israel over Gaza plus even to the point of issuing international arrest warrants for their leaders!
Many of US choose traditional forms of protest in support of this international ruling and some (the very brave) of US choose direct action in which NOT ONE HUMAN BEING WAS HARMED!
Grotesque UK Govt & Grotesque previous Tory Govt can you claim that not one human being was harmed by YOUR actions?
Starmer, Lammy & now Cooper plus the previous Tory PM & Foreign Minister should all be handed over to the ICJ.
When it comes to the appeal we all hope our independent judiciary will stand by international law.
When the history books are written about Gaza I am confident that they will conclude that the UK was locking the wrong people up!
God (or your preferred deity) bless Palestine Action. Stand firm!
Oh and concerning the 7 arrests at the Peaceful Pro Palestine Action (PA) demo.
Some argue that the police may have been told to go in hard as perhaps Labour’s dark operators want to construct a negative public image of PA.
But the Labour Govt needs to answer one question:
As Palestine Action’s direct action did not harm one human being.
Can you say the same for your arms sales to Israel, your use of RAF spy planes to provide intelligence for Israel & your allowing of Israeli arms manufacture in the UK?
Reminder to the UK Govt:
The ICJ has found that there is a “Plausible case of Genocide” against Israel & it has issued international arrest warrants against its leaders.
I think they think we have short memories.
We & PA are perfectly in tune with the ICJ’s international law ruling.
The wrong people are in the dock.
