Israel's Duvdevan unit, lauded here by coked-up fascist Tommy Robinson, is responsible for numerous murders of Palestinian civlians in the occupied West Bank & elsewhere.

Green Party conference voted this month to declare the IDF a terrorist organisation. And rightly so.

Again I was told over and over again Israel was not blocking aid, that it was the UN and Hamas and saying that Israel was inducing starvation as part of a planned genocide was a slanderous libel.

Trump got his headlines, praise from Democrats, so Israel can once again war crime as they like.

Good. We need to expose the blatantly prejudiced institutional capture that has occurred, and we can't do that while they refuse to provide the evidence - because it would show they have been disingenuous and dishonest, and have failed to do what they were created to do.

Either the ICO will find the EHRC in breach and order them to release the requested data and remove the blanket ban, or they will find no fault, at which point we take the EHRC and ICO to tribunal.

I’m finding this unreasonably funny

A screenshot of a tweet that reads:

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of lawyer commercials and then asked it to write a lawyer commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

LAWYER COMMERCIAL

INT. FIRM LAW ROOM

A LAWYER stands next to a shelf with books. The books are very wide. They have eaten too many words.

LAWYER. Have you been hurt in an accidental at? Has the government sold your lungs without asking nicely? Are you Mesothelioma? Answer me!

The lawyer opens a briefcase. It’s full of lemons, the justice fruit only lawyers may touch.

Get your point, and agree on the atrocities inflicted.

I would say though, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is also genocide in terms of both the intent and conduct of the Russians.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

TACC @tacc.org.uk · Sep 15

Update: the EHRC has completed its internal review and upheld its blanket refusal of our FOI requests under Section 14(1). They admit some requests were “well focussed, purposeful and of public interest,” but still refused them all. 1/

Response letter related to Freedom of Information Act requests. The letter addresses request refusals, resource constraints, and compliance issues. Tone is formal and explanatory.

Text: "Response
I have reviewed our refusal of the requests set out in Annex A of our refusal
notice to determine whether the refusal was appropriate and compliant with
the provisions of the FoIA.
The Commission has disclosed the relevant decision-making document used
to determine our refusal of the requests under a separate FOI request,
reference 12231728, and I have considered the rationale contained within this
document alongside the points raised in your review request as part of my
review.
While I continue to respect your right to request information under the FoIA
and acknowledge that some of your previous requests have been well
focussed, purposeful and attract value on matters of public interest, the
volume, frequency and nature of the requests set out in Annex A of our refusal
notice would place a significant sustained demand on the Commission’s
resources if it were to comply.
We aim to be transparent and helpful in our responses and have endeavoured
to meet our obligations under the FoIA, as evidenced by our continued
compliance with targeted and proportionate requests submitted since our
refusal notice was issued, including the request referenced above (12231728)
and a request concerning workforce diversity and the protected characteristic
of gender reassignment (12045024).
As such, your review request is not upheld, and the Commission maintains its
refusal to comply with the requests set out in Annex A of our refusal notice
under Section 14(1) of the FoIA."
