I agree, we've done the soup on a painting now, it becomes reiterative and dull. Pulling down statues seems to work better. Blocking motorways, I don't even know how to measure success except in headlines?

What do you think would be a more significant action? (bearing in mind thought-crime, incitement to violence, conspiracy to terrorise, all those laws apply in this place just as any other! But in THEORY what would a potential significant action actually do?)

So it was more likely that they would be convicted. That does not make them prisoners of conscience.

If telling th jury that their conscience led them to commit the action stops them being convicted, the state then bans them from using their conscience as a defence to ensure they are convicted, that makes them what?

Nice weather we’re having lately, btw.

Fair point ( digressing, some of this is true for protests against the arms trade).

Why do the mass killers of the fossil fuel industry walk free while the heroes trying to stop them are imprisoned? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is just fucking abominable…

Elderly activist to spend Christmas in prison because tag does not fit

Couldn’t someone employ some lateral thinking? Like maybe take the thing to a cobbler or something for an adjustment?

Failing that, a hammer and some nails would sort it.

Don't be silly. They already let all the murderers out to make room for more little old ladies.
