Laverty, who has won the Palme d’Or for his collaborations with director Ken Loach, was detained by officers in Edinburgh on Monday.
It is understood that Laverty faces a terrorism charge for wearing a T-shirt stating: “Genocide in Palestine time to take action”.
In other cases, the garment has been alleged to be in support of Palestine Action, a protest group proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the Labour Government in July.
JFC… How much control does Israel actually exert on these clown westoid regimes.
Good to see people who can stand tall, doing so… But something got to give.
It seems every regime whores loyalty is to Israel first.
Did they all got taped raping children because that’s really the only way they all would be this limp dick.
It’s illegal for a foreign country* to try to influence domestic political outcomes
*Except Israel it’s illegal to be mad if Israel does it
That’s what gets me. The west doesn’t even give China nearly this much slack even though China has immense economic power over the west’s economies. What the hell is going on with Israel?
Money. Jews/Israel have financed large chunks of western politicians. China hasn’t done that to such a massive extent, but I’m sure they will now considering how cheap and corrupt western politicians are. The only difference is the price.
I don’t think Chinese living within EU or US would be permittted what AIPaC and ADL did.
They will try but that spot is already taken
Give it time. Corruption is corrosive. When you’re already defending a genocide out of greed, you’re already 90% of the way to betraying everyone you’ve ever known, and everything you’ve ever believed.
