Kruz is right, I’ll criticise anyone who seems to demonstrate a blind eye to certain atrocities while supporting one specific one but the laws are what you make them. It is up to the press to highlight why this group were arrested in the first place.

However arresting people however silly they are for showing support for a group they don’t seem to have much knowledge of does look heavy handed.

The problem with all this is currently is those who pretend this organisation did nothing wrong or that all Jews are looking to wipe out Palestinians and if they don’t say anything then they are complicit. It’s utter nonsense and this has now spread to music artists or actors who say nothing.

My position has always been clear, a two state solution, for those who caused the terror attacks to be sentenced and for the likes of Netahanyu who is putting his own people at harm to be removed from office.

However I was told this is dreamy and complicit, so I don’t bother saying anything anymore.

This group whoever they are need to be held accountable for what they did regarding the army base, potentially their links should be considered and maybe those supporting them instead of actual palestian civilians should reflect on themselves. However it’s sort of made martyrs of the the slightly thick.

It would certainly merit investigation rather than rejection.

We’re always told to follow the money, especially it seems, when “Zionists” are donating. So not unreasonable to follow the money back to this chap.

EDF will invest £1.1bn in Sizewell C plant, France and UK announce
Sounds positive. So what negativity can we get into the story?
In 2007, EDF predicted that electricity from Hinkley Point C would be cooking Christmas turkeys in 2017, but the company said last year that the station might not be finished until 2031.
To a point, Lord Cobber. Construction didn't start till 2017, something probably entirely down to EDF.

And here's the inevitable local campaigner. This will be usual standard, will it? Oh yes.
Alison Downes, of the campaign group Stop Sizewell C, criticised EDF’s “very minor stake in Sizewell C”.

“Such reliance on France for so lengthy and uncertain a project delivery undermines UK energy security. With much of the expensive ‘kit’ for Sizewell C being constructed in France, who does this project really benefit?” she said.
There you have it. Relying on France is a threat to energy security. And some dumb protectionism too.

Maybe these folk want to return to the days when every city had its own power station and we had no National Grid (so no pylons, yippee!) so if your local power station had a fault, your city blacked out. Oh, and mains voltage and frequency were entirely at the whim of the plant operator.
