Available free until 15 September, this video tells the story of how Scottish workers from the Rolls Royce factory in East Kilbride blocked engines for the Hawker planes which had bombed Allende’s palace. They held out for two and a half years. Only Israel and South Africa were willing to supply spare parts for the planes. At 50 minutes hear Judith Hart and Alex Lyon on how the Home Office insisted on security checks (from the CIA!!) before granting visas to the refugees from Chile
And, for those, who don’t believe public pressure works – hear the latest
on the journalist recently arrested for her support of Palestinians.
She was previously banned from using her phone and PC - and had her mother's
ashes deliberately scattered by the 12 police who raided her home and items
stolen and misplaced. All the horrendous conditions of her bail have been dropped
– although she now has to go out an buy a new phone and PC!
The Council Estate site is one of many which has - unlike the mainstream media - exposed
the malicious efforts of the elite to hound those journalists who don't toe the line
Remember how police stole Sarah’s passport and £200 cash, and then ordered
her to hand her passport into the local police station in seven days or face a
five-year prison sentence? Well, one day before Sarah was due to visit the
police station, they confessed they had the passport all along and would
“investigate” the missing £200. It really seems like they were playing with
Sarah, trying to scare the life out of her and others. Sarah has now been told she will get her passport back. If I wasin her position, I would be tempted to leave the country because
who wants to go through life, knowing police are spying on you
for doing the right thing? Sarah has been told all of her tweets
will be monitored going forwards. I suspect police do this with
every pro-Palestinian influencer, but just think how Stasi-esque
this is: the idea you’ve done nothing wrong but police are
monitoring everything you post, just in case you do do something
wrong. You can guarantee police are not monitoring supporters ofIsrael’s genocide or intimidating them and their supporters.Let the history books note that when a genocide was taking place,British police tried to silence the people who were trying tostop the genocide. It’s scary to think that if not for Sarah’sinterview with Crispin Flintoff last week, and the ensuing publicsupport, police might have jailed Sarah on Friday for not handingin her passport. She really might have received an automaticfive-year prison sentence, due to entrapment.While this is all very bleak, one heart-warming aspect of the story
is that people have knocked on Sarah’s door and sent her letters
to wish her well. If I lived in Sarah’s area, I would certainlybe tempted to pay her a visit and let her know how much we care.Amazingly, Sarah said some of the letters she received had noaddress, just her name, and the postal service somehow figured outwhere she lives. (If anyone doesn’t know, the postal service willalways try to deliver a letter,even with minimal information, andthis is what they’ve done here.)From the police’s point of view, this whole farce has been a PR
disaster. It was not just a failed phishing exercise, it was anintimidation effort intended to have a chilling effect on Palestiniansolidarity, but it has had the opposite effect. It has motivatedpeople to rally together and refuse to be intimidated. It hasmotivated people to call out authoritarianism.BUT WHERE WERE THE JOURNALISTS??
