UK: Jury Refuses to Convict Seven Palestine Action Activists Over Elbit Factory Raid! (21.8.2026)

The defendants were accused of assisting or encouraging an action at Elbit Systems’ Filton site in August 2024, during which activists allegedly destroyed equipment, including quadcopter drones.

The court heard none of the defendants were at Elbit during raid but were alleged to have helped to plan it, including by compiling an equipment list, reconnaissance, purchasing tools and weapons used by others, and co-ordinating the break-in and its filming.

Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons company and has faced repeated protests and direct action from Palestine Action over its links to the Israeli military and the war in Gaza.

The Filton 25 are a group of 25 pro-Palestine activists, mainly associated with Palestine Action, who were arrested and prosecuted in connection with an action targeting Elbit Systems‘ weapons facility in Filton, near Bristol.

Four other Filton 25 defendants — Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Charlotte Head and Fatema Zainab Rajwani — were sentenced under terrorism legislation following convictions for criminal damage just days before the latest trial began.

Oxford: Police Break UK Law Via “Freedom of Speech” Arrest! (11.3.2025)

The UKs Absolute Monarchy was abolished in 1649 – as the axe fell on the neck of King Charles I – executed for “Treason”. Political power changed hands – moving from the aristocracy to the bourgeoisie – with each democratically elected government controlling the country through Parliament. A Constitutional Monarchy was eventually implemented by the bourgeoisie which sought to control the illiterate masses (most of whom had fought for Cromwell against the King) by making them believe the monarchy had been brought back and was looking for revenge (this illusion was partly upheld by the post-Restoration British State carrying-out a witch-hunt against all those who had signed the Death Warrant of King Charles I – murdering around two-hundred former politicians and military-men). This deception worked for hundreds of years until literacy and educational standards improved and the workers realised it was all a lie. Parliament has been in-charge of British society since 1649 – but has “employed” (as “Civil Servants”) a privileged “White” family to “act” as – or “Mimmick” – the behaviour of a Royal Family.
