Jack Straw to Parliament: "No member of the Government would make the decision to prosecute."

An interesting comment yesterday underneath Sqwawkbox reporting on yesterdays protests not only against genocide but also against against the fascistic arrests of people protesting against a law, under that very law…

Comment by winteringham

"When the original anti-terror laws were discussed, Campbell Savours posed exactly this question suggesting if a “Middle Eastern state” wished to win a multi-billion contract, would part of the deal be to proscribe any group that objected?” I think he covered a number of points in that 26 years ago.

Jack Straw would have none of it …………………"

The comment probaby attracted much interest as it was updated with a link to Jack Straw’s guarantee.

The Sqwawkbox report highlights the mass arrests - 400+ I saw somewhere today.
The byline, most pertinently, reads:

Starmer continues to assault UK freedoms to protect Israel

A trip down memory lane shows Straw was no innocent, nor humanitarian softie.

Here he is on offical business with Iraq war architect Paul Wolfowitz in 2001

The updated comment is actually from Hansard, and cites him telling Parliament:

"No member of the Government would make the decision to prosecute. "

Blair’s government clearly itself displayed a significant lurch to the right, even over its Tory predecessors.

Yet Starmer’s Israeli-funded bunch have succeeded in continuing this trend.

From the BBC report on yesterdays mass arrests:

Former home secretary Yvette Cooper has previously defended the proscription by saying some supporters of Palestine Action don’t know the full nature” of the group.

Cooper was moved to the Foreign Office in a cabinet reshuffle on Friday. Defend Our Juries said her “disastrous” ban “must go with her”.

What’s wrong with this snippet?

Well, Defend Our Juries lodged a contempt of court action against then HC Yvette Cooper.
This was specifcally for making the above claim, which accused DOJ of violence - because DOJ themselves were being prosecuted and their non-violent policy was their key defence.

With her claim made in the media, Cooper was obviously jeopardizing a court process.

Yet the BBC repeats the claim without mentioning that the DOJ group - mentioned in the same piece immediately below - have taken out a contempt of complaint against Cooper for making this very claim

So the action against Cooper is to remain secret - try finding it in the MSM - but Cooper’s likely law-breaking claims in defiance of court procedures are still to be broadcast.

Edit: Here is the DoJ complaint, made to the AG

Comments prevent a fair trial

“…It is not only disingenuous to present this isolated case as characteristic of Palestine Action, it is a contempt of court that prevents fair trials of those who stand accused. Yvette Cooper’s comments have been widely publicised, such that it would be impossible to find a jury unaffected by them. Her comments have irreparably prejudiced the jury in three ways.

It seems to me, that with Starmers record (aka Jimmy Saville), clearly MI5/6, Mossad, and/or the NSA have some Epstien’esq dirt on him. IMHO, that is the only plausible explanation for his sychophantic support of the genocidal Nazis in Israehell.

There is a video out there of Starmer admitting Jewish family connections and also Israeli family. He goes on in to say that he is not a Zionist, but knows what it is and supports it
