Human rights are, by definition, inalienable. That's in the very first sentence of the UN Declaration.

James Eadie KC argues Palestine Action proscription is an issue of national security because the factories in question are supplying the British military, NATO & allies, and F-35 fighter jets.

Argument being heard that it is better for one High Court ruling than hundreds of criminal cases, not all with access to proper representation. There are thousands of people right now whose Article 10 Right to Freedom of Expression are being violated.

We are calling for a judicial review, not parliamentary procedure, because it would impact on people who plead guilty, who cannot afford representation, and lose employment or university places. All of which would be impacted waiting for parliamentary process to take place.

Going into the closed hearing now. The Judge said he doesn't know whether he will make a decision on permissions today. Will be back in an hour.

Meanwhile, I have my own little campaign going in my corner of the world at Bradley Stoke. My neighbours know me and our government have been tagged as well many times.

James Eadie KC is an idiot. National security includes human rights and equality, society, environment, and kinetic and technical.
