The brutal treatment by Britain’s Labour government of the hunger strikers is a step change in this lurch to authoritarianism and dictatorship by imperialist powers internationally. The government made clear from the outset that it would not consider any of the legitimate democratic demands of the political prisoners.
The World Socialist Web Site? Seriously? This isn’t ML.
Demands made by hunger strikers are not democratic demands because rule by those willing to kill themselves isn’t a democracy.
Weaponization of terrorism laws is not democratic.

If the demand is simply to follow pre-existing procedures and not creating human rights violations, you’re still gonna bootlick the UK government and say they’re allowed to create arbitrary rules to detain people for long period of times? Sounds like you’re in support of government-backed kidnappings.
Yes the World Socialist Web Site. Journalism is not limited only to corporate American media.
