I haven’t cited any laws or said what they did was wrong, just that the government doesn’t like having its toys broken. Absolutely setting fire to a nazi train may be the morally correct thing to do, but you can still understand the nazis not being happy about it: these aren’t mutually exclusive propositions.
I think the better question is ‘Does what they did justify them being classed as terrorists’ rather than ‘Were they entrapped by government agents’.
Jet engines may react poorly with paint in the intakes. Those aircraft will need to be inspected and possibly repaired/maintained before they are allowed in the air again. That is sabotage.
It’s not even really a Labour issue, support for Israel has been a long standing policy (partly because the UK was largely responsible for the creation of Israel back in the 1920s) and the motion to proscribe Palestine Action was broadly supported by every party. Regardless of the morality it was completely obvious and expected that breaking into a military base and damaging expensive aircraft was going to have consequences.
‘Palestine Action’ definitely refers to the group, otherwise you’d just put ‘Palestine’. I don’t think they did this to protest ant-terrorism laws, they’ve been very focused on targeting the genocide in Palestine so starting a new off-topic fight wouldn’t make sense for them.
I don’t think there’s any need for false flag conspiracy theories. Palestine Action took credit for breaking into Brize Norton. I can only assume they thought it would generate enough attention to be worth the risk.
It certainly made proscribing them an easy sell; you won’t find many people who think it’s unreasonable of the government to take a dim view of sabotage.
Hopefully it won’t distract too much from the bigger story of almost everyone apart from the government taking a dim view of genocide.
It’s a specific group that recently broke into an RAF base and started mucking about with the aircraft, hence why the government aren’t their biggest fans.
Shortly after they did this they were designated as a terrorist group by the home office which is why public support is an offence.
And armholes
That’s an interesting distinction for something that would otherwise require an artist.
moodboarding, design concepting, D&D scene setting/ npc portraits, making stupid images of friends that would used to mean 40 minutes of photoshop (and not everyone knows how to photoshop)
No-one would bother to pay an artist for any if that, you would either copy images from the internet, do without, or try to do it yourself. AI has just massively lowered the skill barrier for doing it yourself.
The point is that there is a niche that isn’t covered by commercial artists that AI image generation fills quite nicely, and complaining about it is like complaining that you no longer phone the operator to connect your telephone calls.
We have OxfordPV, though I believe they manufacture the panels in Germany. I’m sure there are reasons for this but cheap manpower won’t be one.
Don’t see many dragons around these days, all thanks to George
It has voice calls and video conferencing, not the same.
Do people not use discord for voice chat? Hop in hop out permanent voice channels that show if your friends are already in or not?
Last I looked you have to use Discord, Teamspeak, or Mumble for this
It really depends on how you use Discord. Matrix was never trying to be a Discord alternative so for some usecases it’s fine, but for a place to hang out with your friends and play video games it’s not.
I would imagine that a demonstration unit has already been sent
This isn’t just jamming signals, it’s microwaving the electronics from a kilometer away so it will work against fibre optic controlled drones as well
All I see is *******?
