It took like two months now that Palestine Action are allowed to get an appeals hearing in November iirc.
Courts could have decided for the proscription to not be applicable until a proper hearing takes place. Instead it was upheld.
Nazi guards murdered people. I’ll condemn the courts for carrying out the law when it involves murdering people.
I don’t believe anyone has been convicted yet in these cases (probably many have not even been charged) so the role of the courts so far was to agree to judicial review but to decline an interim block on the order. Parliament is clearly more to blame for this.
So, just to be clear, what are we condemning the courts - which haven’t convicted anyone of anything in this - for?
Condemnation certainly doesn’t achieve anything when anyone can see you’re condemning people for stuff they haven’t done. I know that the zeitgeist is vibes-based but we should really be doing better than that.
Nitpick: it’s Parliament who proscribed Palestine Action, not the courts.
It is the courts upholding it though.

Yea the decision to ban it went through so fast it was hard to have a defence, but the appeals are all delayed now they have one.
Cross nitpick: Just because the courts are following Parliament’s ‘law’ in no way negates their complicity in doing wrong.
See Nazi guards following Hitler’s rules for reference.

Yes, definitely wait til they start killing people. Condemnation will surely work wonders then

Yes, because prosecuting people for being political dissidents doing nothing other than holding a sign is always right and just.
Do you want to try again, using the words I wrote rather than the ones you pulled out of the air?
Also UK judges don’t use gavels.
(Edited: was gravels)
They prefer city bikes
I don’t understand this but I can only assume its in reference to my autocorrect.
A gravel bike is a type of bike for “gravel” conditions, so dirt roads and stuff
Do the courts not get judicial review in the UK?
