BANNING Of Palestine Action In UK Should TERRIFY You
Dystopia UK: Genocidal RAF Squadron Targeted by Palestine Action is Owned by a Hedge Fund
If you thought RAF jets were owned by the RAF, think again.
The RAF squadron targeted for a repaint by Palestine Action due to its involvement in supplying Israel’s genocide, does not in fact belong to the RAF at all. It belongs ultimately to Polygon Global Partners LLP, a Hedge Fund.
Through a chain of seven cutout companies, which I will take you through, the direct ownership is with Airtanker Ltd, which gives its address as RAF Brize Norton. It owns, maintains and operates the RAF’s Voyager refuelling aircraft, which have been providing mid-air refuelling to the Israeli Defence Forces as well as carrying, in their cargo role, munitions to the IDF.
…
Airtanker Ltd states that five of the Voyager aircraft while available to the RAF: “can also be made available to other parties. This can include providing military capability to other nations…”.
Whether the aircraft have been operated by the RAF on behalf of the Israelis, or whether they have been “provided to” the IDF direct, is an interesting question. Is this designed to build in plausible deniability for the UK government?
Eight of the Voyager Aircraft though fully painted in RAF livery, actually are the property of Airtanker Ltd.
…
The RAF’s Voyager aircraft are effectively being provided under the Private Finance Initiative. Exactly how much money the hedge fund managers and this string of companies are taking out of the defence budget is hard to know.
One particularly surprising fact is that it is plain that the private companies are also providing the RAF ground crew. Who employs the flight crews is not entirely clear.
That such an obviously rotten and corrupt arrangement exists in the RAF I had no idea. Some British military personnel are in fact contracted mercenaries. It gives new context to the active RAF involvement in the Genocide in Gaza.
Palestine Action’s excellent act of resistance in vandalising this Hedge Fund Air Force has brought all of this to our attention. Which is yet a further reason to be grateful to Palestine Action.
Palestine Action break into RAF base and damage two planes
Palestine Action break into RAF base and damage two planes

PALESTINE Action targeted two military planes at an RAF base in Oxfordshire today [yesterday], where daily flights depart for another base in Cyprus used for military operations in Gaza.
Two activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and approached the planes on electric scooters.
They used repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the turbine engines of two Airbus Voyagers, before causing further damage using crowbars.
Activists then sprayed red paint across the runway, symbolising the bloodshed in Gaza.
They were undetected by security and managed to evade arrest.
Flights depart daily from the base for RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, used by Britain to support Israel, the group said in a statement.
More than 500 RAF surveillance flights have flown over the Gaza area from Akrotiri in 15 months, according to analysis by Action on Armed Violence.
The base is also used for British and US military cargo transports to the Israeli military, Palestine Action said.
A spokesperson for the group said: “Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel US/Israeli fighter jets.
“Britain isn’t just complicit, it’s an active participant in the Gaza genocide and war crimes across the Middle East.
“By decommissioning two military planes, Palestine Action has directly intervened in the genocide and prevented crimes against the Palestinian people.”

Palestine Action targets landlords of Instro Precision weapons factory
PRO-PALESTINIAN activists targeted the London-based landlords of an Israeli weapons factory this morning.
The Palestine Action protesters threw red paint on the registered address of Discovery Park Ltd and shattered the windows, to demonstrate against the company’s involvement in arming the genocide in Gaza.
The company leases property to Instro Precision in Kent, which is owned by Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest weapons producer.
Instro was granted more than a dozen weapons export licences for the shipment of arms to Israel last year. Most fell under the category “ML5b,” which includes target acquisition and related systems.
