Grim to read that five Just Stop Oil activists have been sentenced to between four and five years for "conspiracy to commit public nuisance", the longest sentences in living memory for peaceful protest in the UK.
Meanwhile water company directors who have spent years conspiring to fill our rivers, lakes, and seas with shit and piss aren't causing a public nuisance at all. It's strange how crime works!
Added to that fact that it was a Sun journalist who got into the JSO meeting & reported them to the police, the same paper which has repeatedly pushed for the opening of new UK oil, gas and coal fields, lobbied for the UK to fight wars for oil, and spent decades disseminating insidious climate change denial.
The same paper that greets each new unnaturally deadly heatwave with headlines of "ITS A SCORCHER!"
Well the good news is it looks like it's going to be a scorcher right until the very end
Solidarity with all political prisoners, and particularly those who are fighting for the survival of a civilisation that would rather jail them than take the necessary action to save itself.
