Five Palestine Action activists face being sentenced as terrorists after they sprayed red paint and cracked windows at a branch of Barclays bank to protest the company’s links to an Israeli weapons manufacturer.
You fucking legend.
So few, so vanishingly few people on internet forums remain open-minded enough to change their view, on anything even when presented with incontrovertible evidence. I like to think I’m one of these few, and now I think you are too. Good on you.
I’m a scientist by education, and so I value nothing more, intellectually, than being able to admit you have more to learn.
I couldn’t possibly have more respect for you than I do now after reading your last comment.
As an aside, I find your other comments to be really incisive, and you’ve made me see this issue in a new light. Thanks to you, I’ve read the entire judgement, and realised that these people are far from heroes, the issue isn’t black and white, and Corner probably deserves most of his sentence. Which was soothing to my anger, because this isn’t as egregious a miscarriage of justice as I previously thought. It’s still a partisan reading of the law though, in my opinion. But it doesn’t seem to overstep the bounds, just burgeon upon them.

Anyway, thanks.
