Appeal Court *very slightly* reduces sentences on some of the 16 peaceful climate protesters, jailed for total of 41 years. This isn’t justice. People desperate for climate action to save lives treated like organised criminals, while big oil & gas get away with ecocide @defendourjuries.bsky.social - ThreadSky

Inconveniencing others while trying to save them is a manifestly disproportionate offence. People are so selfish when they try to help, no one asked them to did they?

Yes fuck this

Total lack of justice or balance

Starmer is a Tory through and through.

The farmers with their tractors did the same thing. Why aren’t Farage and Clarkson in prison too?

semaleena.bsky.social•1 day ago

They caused a man’s death as the ambulance couldn’t get through & zero arrests

JSO need to protest in tractors cause apparently tractors blocking roads are absolutely fine

phil0sophicai.bsky.social•1 day ago

Clarkson and Farage are not farmers. They are wealthy land owners trying to tax dodge.

ferrickbrick.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep! Exactly that. But still should be in prison.

"What for?"
"Don't really care, so long as they are in prison."

Yeah, we're very unfair. I'm happy with that.

ferrickbrick.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Unfortunately, we can’t lock either of them up just for being grifting assholes, but Farage skirts treasonous quite often.

geoffcampbell.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Given their vies on other human beings, having to go through due process before locking them up doesn't seem entirely fair on the rest of us.

They should have turned up on expensive tractors wearing Barbours and wellies. Two tier policing anyone?

semaleena.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly

LBC interview with JSO yesterday was so infuriating. Wouldn’t even acknowledge the Fat cat Crims breaking the law in front of ALL our eyes, and being ALLOWED to continue regardless, while the ‘little man with a moral duty gets locked up. It’s all and every kind of wrong. GOV approved crime.

It's no longer safe for trans women to attend any protest. Starmer pushed through legally dodgy none statutory guidelines which force trans women into men's jails. It's very Trumpian/MAGA. The threat of jail and being put in a man's prison and targeted for abuse and rape is too much.

These sentences are a disgrace. I’d get less for rioting and throwing bricks at the police

crankyaine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Should we be pushing for farmers to be jailed for disrupting traffic? And why won't they be?

Appalling.

How can a 'massively excessive' sentence only be reduced 20%?

Just Stop Being Annoying, that's my advice to them.

jsobauman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Barry so sorry our activities are annoying.
Lets have perspective, its unpleasant protesting, but far preferable to polluting and accepting the demise of society.
Carbon pollution kills.

Be a good chap and just lie down and die over there out of sight. Jolly good.
