The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...and anyone else willing to say nice things about Trump and slip him a “favor”.1

That must include the British PM.

In the UK, a group has formed, calling itself "Palestine Action", which resists UK complicity in Israel's actions in Gaza. The group has progressed from demonstrations to vandalism, like spraying red paint around, and non-violently obstructing the operations of UK companies that produce weapons for Israel.

For their non-violent activities, the UK government has named Palestine Action a terrorist group.

Now, anyone in the UK who peacefully demonstrates in support of Palestine Action's non-violent activities, is accused of supporting terrorism and tossed in jail.

Arrests at rally against Palestine Action ban rise to 890

The one difference I see between Brits demonstrating against the ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and in the US, is the British police who haul them off to the clink and wearing police uniforms and not wearing masks.
