By falsely alleging Palestine Action deliberately targeted people with violent acts, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper committed contempt of court – but a court order prohibits British media from reporting this. UK outlets are also barred from telling the public that Palestine Action’s lawyer, Rajiv Menon, faces contempt of court proceedings for reminding jurors of their rights.
Yet another issue of the U.K. not having any real rights.
By spray painting fighter jets. I believe that this was based on paint having got into the engine and necessitated a full rebuild or something similar.
But the figure came from the company who lease the aircraft to the RAF, and the MoD have never substantiated it or released their own.
It started when Yvette Cooper took it upon herself to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group. She can't tell you why. You just have to trust her. 🤷♀️

UK are participating in terrorism now, aren't they? They should jail & reform apartheid defenders instead.

Didn't this whole thing start over like $10000 of property damage?

£7 million, but the figure is completely unsubstantiated and the aircraft in question were flying within a few weeks, so it's likely to be a lot less.

How did they do £7M of damage?
