Middlebrough got involved with Palestine Action in January 2022 to protest Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and its gross human rights violations.

In January 2024, he and five others were detained for allegedly plotting to shut the London Stock Exchange down. Middlebrough was remanded and charged with conspiracy to cause public nuisance.

That was the second time he had been remanded to prison on charges that were later dropped.

So, this is the guy who vanishes while on temporary bail while the rest of Palestine Action is behind bars. Were any of the others granted temporary bail? How did he escape while under police surveillance?

Is asking these kinds of questions considered gauche? If so, how did that come to be? Are you comfortable assuming this man is both alive and not a police informant? This is btw pretty much the only thing anyone in the western left has done to lift a finger so it'd make sense for it to be planned by cops themselves - just saying. It's not like any of you people show initiative regularly - harsher words could be used

Bad post.

None of the other PA arrestees had a brother getting married so its likely none of them asked to get out for a few days. The guy has been in prison for 2 months. If he thinks his life will be better on the lam, good for him.

There is no reason for the cops to have infiltrated PA. They didn't need undercover operatives to bring PA down because they weren't hiding who they were. They didn't need witness testimony because PA videoed they actions and posted them on the internet. They didn't need to agitate to justify a crack down because other countries without any actions by PA have had a crack down.

Get some sleep. You are jumping at shadows and being a dick.
