Filton acquittals demolish Starmer and Cooper lies about Palestine Action
JVL Introduction
In a great victory, the trial against the Filton Six –Palestine Action activists who entered the Filton factory to destroy Israeli killer drones – rebounded against the goverment.
Craig Murray reports:
“Throughout the trial anything that referred to the crimes of Elbit, their role in the mass killing and mutilation of women and children, and their cosy relationship with the British government, was excluded from the jury. The judge continually stopped the defence lawyers from asking or saying anything about who Elbit are or why their property was being attacked.”
“But despite the state taking every possible precaution to ensure that the state got its convictions in this show trial, the jury refused to find that trying to stop Genocide is a crime.”

Filton acquittals demolish Starmer and Cooper lies about Palestine Action

Another major defeat for the right-wing establishment zionist government which has effectively been forced on us. Again, it is a result of incompetence plus the untruthfulness of the ruling establishment, all of it, the government, the official so-called opposition, the mass media and the legal system. As in this excellent article, our state processes have been vilely misused to deflect from the genocide of indigenuous people by recent colonisers of the land.
Craig Murray’s article is excellent and I hope people will contribute towards his crowdfunder for the Scottish judicial review.
One aspect mentioned in the comments underneath and that was the BBC reaction to the verdicts which didn’t concentrate on the acquittals but whether there would be a retrial.
I have complained to the BBC and below is my complaint
Case number CAS-8305655-F6F9P5
Misleading BBC Headline on Filton 6 Acquittals
Headline on report of acquittal of Filton 6 today
You really can’t get anything right can you? Your bias and prejudice shows through everytime.
Despite massively prejudicial comment on Palestine Action ‘violence’ they were all acquitted of aggravated burglary, which carries a life sentence.
There wasn’t a single conviction. So any headline should include these facts and acquittals. instead what your headline was
‘Palestine Action protesters await potential retrial’ – no mention of acquittals or the refusal of the jury, despite the judge trying to exclude all evidence of the arms factory in question, Elbit, role in the genocide in Gaza.
Your choice of headline was and is deliberate. An attempt to play down the massive victory in court today. You really are disgusting apologists for genocide and we have the chief genocide denier Robbie Gibb still as one of your Executives.
I look forward to an explanation of this latest example of your gross bias.
