The sentences handed to the five Just Stop Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Chaotic scenes as a prison van carrying some of the ‘Truth Telling 5’ Just Stop Oil activists leaves Southwark Crown Court, after being sentenced to the longest prison terms (4 to 5 years each) given to peaceful protesters in living memory.

I'm reeling at the severity of these sentences to peaceful people who tell the truth. The politicising of the judiciary is a signal of fascism. I hope the new attorney general supports an appeal. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Seeing his other sentences, this is judicial misconduct. The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice should remove Judge Hehir from office and the charges should be dismissed. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateActionNow

"Rulings like today’s set a very dangerous precedent, not just for environmental protest but any form of peaceful protest that may, at one point or another, not align with the interests of the government of the day." theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Shadow Energy Secretary promoting the views of well known climate contrarian Lomborg desmog.com/bjorn-lomborg/ Tories appear to have learned nothing from the shellacking they took a month or two ago.

🚨🚨The UN General Assembly just voted for a resolution demanding Israel end “its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory" within 12 months. The UK abstained.

One really dangerous narrative is, "Isn't it so clever of Israel to hack Hezbollah?". No, it isn't. It is a terrorist act which killed innocent Lebanese and should be called out as such.

Some time back I did an event at the AA. I asked the attenders to write an anecdote of something that happened in the first year of their architectural education. Here are the contributions. Read, and weep. jeremytill.net/read/241/anecd…

Israel's decision to send troops into Lebanon, a sovereign nation, is not a "limited ground operation". It is an invasion. Our government's hypocrisy is on full display. Its failure to defend international law and stand up to Israel is a moral disgrace.

Watch this for a lucid and informed position. Thank you Naomi Klein
