The artwork, which shows a judge hitting a protester with a gavel, was confirmed by the elusive street artist.

    Cross nitpick: Just because the courts are following Parliament’s ‘law’ in no way negates their complicity in doing wrong.

    See Nazi guards following Hitler’s rules for reference.

      Nazi guards murdered people. I’ll condemn the courts for carrying out the law when it involves murdering people.

      I don’t believe anyone has been convicted yet in these cases (probably many have not even been charged) so the role of the courts so far was to agree to judicial review but to decline an interim block on the order. Parliament is clearly more to blame for this.

          So, just to be clear, what are we condemning the courts - which haven’t convicted anyone of anything in this - for?

          Condemnation certainly doesn’t achieve anything when anyone can see you’re condemning people for stuff they haven’t done. I know that the zeitgeist is vibes-based but we should really be doing better than that.

        Yes, because prosecuting people for being political dissidents doing nothing other than holding a sign is always right and just.

          Do you want to try again, using the words I wrote rather than the ones you pulled out of the air?
