, we are seeing "the UK’s headlong slide into fascism".
There will be no jury hearings for the 2,000 people arrested so far for holding signs opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action's efforts to stop it. Just a mass show trial instead, with the defence given a few minutes to make its argument to the judge.
Starmer's government knows juries would be highly unlikely to convict. As former ambassador Craig Murray observes, we are seeing "the UK’s headlong slide into fascism".
He is trying to disrupt this process by bringing a case in the Scottish courts to reject the application of London's proscription of Palestine Action in Scotland. If successful, that will force the Supreme Court to arbitrate between the two jurisdictions, as happened with Boris Johnson's prorogation of parliament.
That may be the best hope of halting the rapid disappearance of basic freedoms in England and Wales.
