There are also strict limits on how many firearms people can have and the police will have more powers to ban demonstrations.

British members of Palestine Action on hunger strike are close to death, Israel's "ceasefire" is just a continuation of the famine, disease and slaughter Israel continues to deliver to the Palestinian people, and across the west, leaders express their deference to the genocidal killers, ship more weapons, and ban words and phrases that make fascists uncomfortable. The hunger strike continues In the British prisons As the courts refuse To reach a decision Will they judge this time As they have before That the crime is sending  Weapons to the war Because the terrorists here Are the Zionists Who'd try to hide A genocide It's a holocaust  And it's happening now A hundred thousand lives lost And no one knows how How many more Will ever be found  Under the rubble  Beneath the ground  Chorus The Palestinian people Beneath plastic sheets There's no ceasefire, just a famine  As history repeats History from the Nazis Brought down on the holy land Beside the bloody sea With an F-thirty-five at hand  Chorus As the Israelis go on With their endless killing spree  While Egypt plays the pawn With their new refinery And throughout the west  They ban phrases and words As our leaders do their best At being completely absurd Chorus

The British state is currently imprisoning activists from the Palestine movement without trial. Many of them are engaging in a hunger strike, demanding an end to censorship, immediate bail, right to a fair trial, the de-proscription of Palestine Action, and an end to shut down the death-making work of Elbit Systems. Charlie Thomas joins the podcast to talk through these developments and reflect on his own experience of being incarcerated for his work in the Palestine solidarity movement. We talk about the increasing waves of repression coming from the government in recent years as well as what we need to learn, as a movement, from experiences of incarceration and criminalisation.  PRISONERS FOR PALESTINE LINK: https://prisonersforpalestine.org/ Charlie Thomas is a researcher, trade unionist, and a member of Workers For a Free Palestine.  SUPPORT: www.buymeacoffee.com/redmedicineSoundtrack by Mark PilkingtonTwitter: @red_medicine__www.redmedicine.substack.com/

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an fichiú lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Maraíodh cúig dhuine dhéag, paiste deich mbliana d'aois san áireamh, in ionsaí sceimhlitheoireachta ar Thrá Bondi in Sydney na hAstráile Dé Domhnaigh seo caite. Is iad an bheirt atá ainmnithe leis an sléacht Sajid Akram, a bhí 50 bliain d'aois, agus a mhac Naveed Akram, 24 bliain d'aois. Maraíodh an Akram ba shine ar an láthair agus gortaíodh an mac go dona sular tugadh chun ospidéil é. Scaoil an bheirt acu urchair ar shlua a bhí bailithe ar an trá chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar fhéile mhór na nGiúdach, Hanukkah. D'éirigh le fear darb ainm Ahmed al-Ahmed an t-arm a bhaint ó dhuine de na gunnadóirí, agus dúirt príomh-aire New South Wales gur mhair go leor daoine mar thoradh ar an gcrógacht a léirigh sé.I ráiteas a d'eisigh Pobal Giúdach na hÉireann, chuir siad a gcomhbhrón in iúl dá ngaolta agus dá gcairde thar lear san Astráil atá ag fulaingt mar gheall ar na hionsaithe. Dúirt Coimisinéir na nGardaí, Justin Kelly, go dtabharfaí tacaíocht agus cosaint bhreise don phobal Giúdach in Éirinn. Bhí agóid i Londain oíche Dé Céadaoin, lasmuigh d'Aireacht Dlí agus Cirt na Breataine, i gcoinne an diúltaithe cead a thabhairt do stailceoirí ocrais dul go hospidéal. Bhí an teannas idir na póilíní agus na hagóideoirí le brath agus breis is míle duine bailithe chun tacaíocht a léiriú do Qesser Zuhrah, 20 bliain d'aois, agus Amy Gardiner-Gibson, 30 bliain d'aois, atá ar stailc ocrais anois le breis is daichead a sé lá agus ag fulaingt go dona. Gabhadh beirt ar an láthair agus baineadh frith-agóideoir amháin amach as an slua. I mí Iúil, d'fhógair Rialtas na Breataine go raibh cosc i bhfeidhm ar an ngrúpa Palestine Action. Ó shin i leith, tá beagnach 2,500 duine gafa ag na póilíní agus tá seisear priosúnach ar stailc ocrais anois mar agóid i gcoinne mí-úsáid chumhachta an stáit. Faoi dheireadh, tar éis iarrachtaí fada ó bhaill den phobal agus ó pholaiteoirí ar nós Zarah Sultana agus Jeremy Corbyn, a chuir brú ar na húdaráis, thug otharcarr Zuhrah go dtí an t-ospidéal chun cúram éigeandála a fháil. Tá an tAire Dlí agus Cirt, David Lammy, fós ag diúltiú labhairt le teaghlaigh na stailceoirí.Tá sceideal cuimsitheach fógartha ag TG4 don Nollaig agus réimse leathan de scannáin, de chláir faisnéise agus de chláir cheoil acu, chomh maith le rogha mhór mhillteach d'ábhar do pháistí, buíochas le Cúla4. Beidh lucht leanúna an cheoil thraidisiúnta ag tnúth go mór le Geantraí na Nollag 2025, a chraolfar ag 7pm Lá Nollag, agus le roinnt clár dírithe ar Oireachtas na Samhna, a chraolfar le linn an deireadh seachtaine i ndiaidh na Nollag. I measc na mbuaicphointí eile, ó thaobh cláir faisnéise de, beidh George Best i gCorcaigh le feiceáil Lá Fhéile Stiofáin ag 8.15pm, ag insint scéal na tréimhse gairide a chaith an peileadóir cáiliúil thíos i gCúige Mumhan caoga bliain ó shin. Idir an dá linn, bainfidh daoine beaga sult as an scannán beochana Nollaí, scéal lách faoi fhia óg, atá ar fáil ar an seinnteoir anois. Is féidir an sceideal iomlán a fháil ag tg4.ie.Agus sin nuacht na Nollag. Feicfimid go luath sibh, ach go dtí sin, Nollaig mhór mhaith daoibh uilig ó chuile dhuine anseo ar Nuacht Mhall.*

Members of Palestine Action are being held without bail or trial in England for trying to stop a British-sponsored genocide.  Many are on hunger strike, and the doctors say they are dying, as their organs are beginning to fail due to some of them now going on 6 weeks without eating.  Meanwhile in Australia, they are talking about passing a law to say that the phrase, "globalize the intifada" is hate speech.  Resisting genocide is apparently a very hateful thing to do.  Terroristic, even.

I ugens Radio Information sætter vi os om et fiktivt julebord og taler om ytringsfrihedens vilkår i Europa, om Informations nu Cavling-nominerede F-35-serie og om August Strindbergs notoriske kvindehad – ikke mindst til maleren Sofie Holten --- Hvad har den tidligere britiske fodboldspiller Joey Barton til fælles med den folkekære irske forfatter Sally Rooney? Svar: De er begge ramt af de stadigt mere snævre rammer for ytringsfrihed i Storbritannien.  Barton modtog for nylig en dom på seks måneders betinget fængsel, 200 timers samfundstjeneste og i alt cirka 200.000 pund for sine antifeministiske og anstødelige kommentarer på nettet om en kvindelig fodboldkommentator. Og Sally Rooney risikerer at blive anholdt, hvis hun lander i Storbritannien, fordi hun vil donere penge til Palestine Action, der arrangerer demonstrationer, laver blokader og opfordrer til civil ulydighed.  Også i Tyskland bliver tusindvis af mennesker retsforfulgt på grund af ytringer på internettet. Og i Danmark har vi de seneste år haft en række sager om såkaldt »billigelse af terror«. Så har den amerikanske vicepræsident, J.D. Vance, ret, når han siger, at Europa har et problem med ytringsfriheden? Mathias Sindberg udlægger sagen. Den 9. januar bliver Danmarks fineste journalistpris, Cavling-prisen, uddelt, og Information er igen i år blandt de nominerede. Sammen med journalister fra DanWatch har Sebastian Gjerding og Lasse Skou Andersen afdækket, hvordan dansk militært udstyr er endt i Israel og blevet brugt til at bombe i Gaza – på trods af de vedvarende anklager om Israels krigsforbrydelser og forbrydelser mod menneskeheden. De to kigger forbi og fortæller om deres nu prisnominerede projekt. Vi får også besøg af Lone Nikolajsen og Peter Nielsen, som begge bidrager til årets julekalender, Bordplanen. Her fortæller skiftende journalister om en kendt person – levende eller død – som de gerne ville sidde ved siden af til et middagsselskab. Nu er der imidlertid sket det, at Lone har inviteret en notorisk kvindehader, August Strindberg, til bords, som har et personligt mellemværende med Peters borddame, Sofie Holten – så nu er der lagt op til skandale ved årets fiktive julebord. Hør, hvad det alt sammen går ud på – og få rigelige mængder sladder fra den fælles kulturhistorie.

Starmer wants tougher policing of Europe's borders and reforms of the ECHR. Plus: “High risk of death” for Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike, and Australia introduces a minimum age for social media use. With: Michael Walker, NoJusticeMTG & Charlie Winstanley.

Does the Judgment of the Court of Appeal in the Palestinian Family case of IA & others v. Home Secretary - https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/IA.MediaSummary.Final_.pdf - indicate that the Judges are submitting to the political pressure to weaken the protection that Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights provides for the concept of “family life”?    In asserting that the Home Secretary's policy is a matter for her and for the UK Government; that this was a question of respect for the UK's law and democratic process; and that the courts must attach considerable weight to the Home Secretary's immigration policies at a general level, was the Court of Appeal sending a message to immigration and asylum judges that they must adopt a fundamentally different approach when conducting the proportionality balance under Article 8 (2) of the ECHR?   Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC debate the political implications of the Court of Appeal's ruling and question whether it will do anything to persuade Jenrick, Farage and their followers that the ECHR is not the cause of the UK's problem of illegal migration.   Ken and Tim then move on to discuss the continuing campaign by a small number of Peers to secure the assisted, filibustered death of Kim Leadbeater's Assisted Dying Bill.  Is the - apparently co-ordinated - plan to table some 587 amendments to the Bill as approved by the House of Commons a democratic outrage?  Or does the fact that it's a Private Members' Bill, to which the Salisbury Convention does not apply, mean that “Kill The Bill” is a legitimate expression of democratic scrutiny of flawed legislation?    Finally, the duo respond to audience questions, including the thorny issue of whether Irish novelist Sally Rooney's publishers should withhold her royalties for fear of committing a terrorist financing offence in the wake of her public announcement that she intends to use future royalties from her work to donate to Palestine Action.  --    Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.    What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.   Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.    Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law.  Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape.    If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy. 

This week, we're joined by Francesca, a member of Prisoners For Palestine who is a former prisoner herself who speaks about Palestine Action, a group proscribed in the UK as a terrorist organization at the behest of the Israeli state and Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems for their successful direct actions against Elbits war profiteering and the UK's role in assisting the genocide in Gaza. Currently, 6 incarcerated members of Prisoners For Palestine are on an open-ended hunger strike against their conditions and the continued operation of Elbit which has garnered support from around the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHjc7sJZ-oA&t=29s Premiered on 9 Aug 2025 Ranjeet Brar on today's news that more than 380 people have been arrested for holding signs in parliament square that say “we oppose genocide - we support Palestine Action” Among those arrested are a 90 year old woman, an 88 year old man, and a disabled and blind man in a wheelchair. The banning of Palestine action is currently under judicial review.

We speak to absconded Palestine Action prisoner Sean “Shibby” Middlebrough. Plus: The collapse of Starmer's Labour continues, Kamala Harris is back on the airwaves, and a Tory MP has his feelings hurt by Aston Villa fans. With NoJusticeMTG and Steven Methven.

When the Labour government came to power in 2024, it faced a crisis in the criminal courts, with ever-longer delays and a growing backlog of cases. The Ministry of Justice's budget is now one third higher in real terms than in 2019, but according to the latest figures, crown court cases that are yet to be heard reached a record high of 78,329. In October, the Justice Secretary David Lammy promised extra funding to increase the number of days that English and Welsh courts will sit next year. But is throwing money at the problem enough? How can the courts service be improved, and should jury trials be limited to help clear the backlog?Also in the programme: Protests in support of the banned group Palestine Action could result in trials for as many as 2100 people - so how do courts deal with a sudden influx of cases? And are UK laws fair to football fans?

Heather Brunskell-Evans, philosopher of politics, author, and academic, speaks about her experience of having protested against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, whereby she held a placard upon which she wrote “I oppose genocide” and “I support Palestine Action.” After holding up her sign, within seconds, Brunskell-Evans was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 and was swiftly detained. Describing being held in solitary confinement overnight and detailing her treatment in detention, to include being enclosed in a caged area, Brunskell-Evans observes the juxtaposition of two types of police partisanship where, the Pride fluffy arm bands that adorned some of these officers symbolise the wider police support of gender ideology and the concommitant endangerment to women's safety, on the one hand, and on the other, the police force's disregard for civil liberties and the freedom of expression to protest a genocide. Criticising the gender-critical feminist movement which has remained tighly affixed to its Zionism and Islamophobic core, Bruskell-Evans vituperates contemporary feminism pointing to its “intellectual paucity” and “lack of ethics” at the heart of western feminism that denies the many incidents of sexual violence recorded by international and national NGOs, documenting decades of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the Israeli forces against Palestinian men and women.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reG08epXPCg 6 Sept 2025 Parliament square, Westminster. Today. NOW. Mass arrests of anti-genocide protestors before the Palace of Westminster, the British Parliament. Peaceful protestors demanding the repeal of the proscription of the direct action group Palestine Action are being arrested. Their crime? Political thoughts. Standing against the mass murder being perpetrated by our Labour government, and their Zionist butchers in the middle east. The real criminals are the monopoly capitalist class in the city of London. Who are paying for this strange exercise in the discipline of the working class - to safeguard their right to plunder the globe and keep us all as wage slaves. The Labour Party are the servile flankers of capital. End that disgusting organisation. Subscribe! Donate!

Katie speaks to Human Rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber about the Gaza Tribunal being held in Istanbul October 23-26, which Craig helped organize and Katie will be covering. Katie will also be delivering testimony on the media's complicity in the genocide. Then Katie speaks to three people arrested for protesting the UK's Draconian Terror Laws, which make it illegal to support proscribed organizations like Palestine Action, a direct action group from the UK and has targeted and sabotaged the Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems factories. All three are Jewish and the descendents of Holocaust survivors: Colonel Chris Romberg is a former Army officer and defence attache with the UK embassies in Jordan and Egypt. His family fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938. Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi is a Jewish activist and former Labor Party electee, as well as the cofounder of Jewish Voice for Labour. Carolyn Gelenter is a longtime activist since the Vietnam war and is also the daughter of a Holocaust survivor.

On October 28, 2023, Mokhiber stepped down as the director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). In his final letter to High Commissioner, he harshly criticized the organization's response to the war in Gaza, calling Israel's military intervention a "textbook genocide" and accusing the UN of failing to act. **Please support The Katie Halper Show ** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - / thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram: / kthalps Follow Katie on TikTok: / kthalps
