After a four-day Jurat trial in the Royal Court, Ms Strecker was found not guilty this morning.
Explaining their verdict, the Royal Court said that Ms Strecker was someone of “good character” who had been “particularly moved by the suffering of those who live and have died in Gaza”, having previously been to Palestine and witnessed the “suffering of both adults and children”.
They added that this “compassion and frustration at the continuing violence has led her to make unwise statements on social media, which are capable in the Court’s view of being construed as inviting support for Hamas and Hezbollah”.
However, they said that “of itself is not enough to make her guilty of these offences”.
They said they were satisfied she had said “extreme things” which were not meant “in a literal sense”.

I interpret the 'good character' part to mean that if she hadn't been white and middle class they would have sent her down, and they're just waiting for the opportunity to do a social media trawl and put all the troublesome brown people and genuine lefties through non-jury trials and put them in prison for 10 years. And we're supposed to worry about Reform bringing in fascism? This is all so f*ed...
These days etc.
jeers,
I
