This is the current rebuild of my site, click to see the Old version (before you tell me I know that the url is new.letorey.co.uk that is because the ssl certificate works for this but not old).
Today I went to Westminster Magistrates Court to protest about Mo Chara from Kneecap being charged as a terrorist.
The outcome of the case was that the judge has yet again decided to postpone the decision, to 26 September, on whether or not he will face terror charges.
I arrived at the court about 11:00 and there had been people there since before 09:00. There were already a couple of thousand people there, almost 100 police and about 40 news teams.
There was a small stage, on which there were a number of performances, I have no idea the names of the performers. When I arrived there was a palestinian rapper wear a camouflage jacket that on the back read: More Blacks More Dogs More Irish.
There was presentation from Gaza Sunbirds Palestine's Para-Cycling Team, from this I learnt:
At the end of the presentation the presenter said:
You can steal land and you can steal money
But you can’t steal freedom and you can’t steal power
Power to the people
There were a poems read and then a Gazan lady told a tale of what is going on over there and the thing that I took away from this was about the games Gazan children are now playing:
They run in zig zags to avoid the bullets.
And while running they chant:
If you die you lose, if you die you lose
The whole point of these trumped up terrorist charges are to draw peoples attention from what is happening in Gaza, if the news is full of Kneecap stories (and they have done nothing wrong) then there is less time to see what is happening in Gaza.
