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.
Not too dissimilar to how one of the officers struck a protestor with a sledgehammer mere seconds before.
Watch the video yourself, it has been released.
The officer was signed off for 3 months. For a back injury. That’s nothing as back injuries go. The other officer that they tried to spin as also brutally mauled by barbarian terrorists wasn’t even taken to hospital because the injuries were so superficial. This is so clearly an attempt by the police and government to spin one action done in the heat of the moment in an act of self defence as the premeditated actions of an entire group.
Even if the intention was to grievously harm an officer, GBH is not terrorism. GBH by one member does not reflect the entire group and its intentions. If that were the case then the police are also a terrorist organisation (wait… actually…)
