‘Dozens’ arrested at Palestine Action protest outside Labour party conference

Police have arrested protesters on suspicion of supporting the banned group Palestine Action outside the Labour party conference in Liverpool.

About 100 people gathered silently on Sunday to hold signs reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”, according to protest organisation Defend Our Juries, who said there were dozens of arrests.

Palestine Action was banned as a terror organisation in July after it claimed responsibility for an action in which two planes were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire the previous month.

A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said: “We’ve come to remind everyone that the Labour party is in breach of its duty to act to prevent genocide under international law.

“Instead it made the cowardly decision to ban the direct action group that was trying to prevent genocide.

“Labour members and trades unions are overwhelmingly against their party’s complicity in genocide and the ban on Palestine Action.

“Yet party officials have shut down all the debates that members wanted to have on these issues during their conference.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Something inside so wrong: Labi Siffre tells Tommy Robinson to stop using anti-apartheid anthem

Spread the love

Siffre says he wrote the song in 1984 because he felt compelled to say something about apartheid.

Exclusive: UK singer, 80, says it is ‘absurd’ as a ‘positive atheist, homosexual black artist’ for far right to claim his work

For decades, Labi Siffre’s hit (Something Inside) So Strong has been a global anthem against apartheid. It was inspired by a documentary about apartheid-era South Africa, and was widely reported to be Nelson Mandela’s favourite song.

But now the singer-songwriter has taken the step of issuing Tommy Robinson with a cease and desist order after the far-right activist incorporated the song into his social media posts and used it at the recent “unite the kingdom” rally in central London.

The musician and his publisher, BMG Rights Management, have issued the cease and desist order to Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, against the unauthorised use of his work. “They’re breaking all sorts of copyrights,” Siffre says. “Even in an era when theft is easier than it ever was, it’s still theft.”

During his rally earlier this month, which was attended by more than 110,000 people, Robinson invited a former X Factor contestant to sing (Something Inside) So Strong. “I always like telling stories through music and this next song now is going to tell all of our stories of why we’re here and why we care,” Robinson said.

Last year, the activist also posted the lyrics of the song to his X account, after allegedly fleeing the country after committing contempt of court.

“I had just seen this documentary of white soldiers [in South Africa] shooting at black people in the street indiscriminately. I knew I wanted to write a song about apartheid,” he recalls.

“One evening, late, I found myself in my studio sat down at the keyboard. I played a C chord, put my head back, and immediately, without thinking, I sang the first two lines of the song. It just came out. I had a tear in my eye and realised that I was writing about my life as a homosexual child, a homosexual youth, a homosexual man, and the battle that that entailed.”

But when he finished the song, Siffre says he realised it was for “just about anyone who had a battle to fight. Even if it was a small battle that day at work, or a small problem in their relationships. Its relevance was even wider than my life as a homosexual, or apartheid.

I am unfortunately a little old for armed insurrection. I’ll give it a go but I am a bit old.

The point is that our elected representatives are so unrepresentative, Fascist-oppressive and so out or control being total Fascist bastards that the people are driven to [ed: er presumably] take up arms to prevent the total cnuts. Enjoy your conference of Fascism then, where the Fascist regime excuses it’s complicity in and support of genocide, attacks on the most vulnerable and powerless to resist and as I have demonstrated covert, disguised attacks on individuals who are only luckily through chance able to tolerate it and fight back. It is worth reflecting, of course, on those unknown who did not have the resources to respond. They deserve your support too and really you need to stop and prevent these bs total Fascists calling themselves Labour.

Ed 3am If you’re willing to support this, then you are Fascist. If you support the current Labour Party, then you are associated with and identified as the Fascist enemy. This is only by my considered opinion, hopefully accepted by others.

Orcas discuss Genocide-supporting and complicit Zionists. Donald Trump, Keith Starmer, David Lammy, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner are called evil genocide-complicit and supporting cnuts.

Through my blog I have shown you the Labour Party. If you’re on their side, then you’re siding with the Fascists.

2.22 There’s also the issue that you can and should fight Fascists because Fascists are opposed to democracy.

2.38 Yet another issue – when you can’t tolerate oppressive Fascism any more you have to fight. There is no choice, its a battle for survival. In this respect, the Fascist Trump incompetent is intent on destroying everything.

 Timothy Crosland leaving the Old Bailey, central London, after his preliminary hearing, September 26 2025

A TRIAL date has been set for six people charged with allegedly organising mass gatherings against the ban on the group Palestine Action.

The charges related to plans for meetings in London, Cardiff and Manchester which were allegedly organised over Zoom in July, August and this month.

Former government lawyer Timothy Crosland, 55, from Southwark, south London; gardener Dawn Manners, 61, from Hackney, east London; David Nixon, 39, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire; student Patrick Friend, 26, of Grange, Edinburgh; Gwen Harrison, 48, from Kendal, Cumbria; and Melanie Griffith, 62, from Southwark, are accused of breaches of the Terrorism Act.

They are accused of allegedly arranging, managing or addressing meetings, knowing that the purpose was to support a proscribed organisation.

Each defendant spoke to confirm their names in the dock during a preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey today.

Nixon remained standing in the dock throughout the hearing with his eyes closed and holding a white banner with the words “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

The defendants are alleged to be members of a group called Defend Our Juries, or to work closely with it, which opposes the ban on Palestine Action.

 Kneecap’s Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, speaks to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, September 26, 2025

Rapper Mo Chara cleared of all charges due to prosecutors’ ‘technical error’

RAPPER Mo Chara of the Irish-language group Kneecap was cleared of all charges today due to a “technical error” by prosecutors as the Belfast group accused the government of using terrorism laws to “discredit” free speech.

The 27-year-old, whose real name is Liam Og O hAnnaidh, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court today where he was cleared of his alleged support of a proscribed terror organisation during a concert at the O2 Kentish Town in November 2024.

Following the verdict, O hAnnaidh came out to an ecstatic crowd, saying: “This entire process was never about me.

“It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism — a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress.

“It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up.”

He added: “Your attempts to silence us have failed because we’re right and you’re wrong. We will not be silent.

“We said we would fight you in your court and we would win. Today, we have.

“If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it’s the British state. Free Palestine.”
