A male member of Palestine Action hit a policewoman in the back with a sledgehammer and broke her spine

I wouldn't want to align myself with these individuals.

It is possible to support Palestinians without aligning with violent thugs. Aligning with these types of thugs, does the cause no good at all.

Utter scumbag. Attacks a policewoman with a sledgehammer twice, the second time when she's lying defenceless on the ground and he's complaining his handcuffs are too tight, and they hurt.

Where's the remorse for the policewoman and her dreadful injuries (still not fully recovered), it's all about him. Where do Palestinian Action get these scumbags!

I'd have expected to get myself shot for my trouble. Fucking around with military equipment? Sod that.

Scary footage. They could have killed someone just when they ram raided their way in. They had no idea what was the other side of the door.

How on earth can they still be saying they didn't intend to hurt people when they swung a sledgehammer at someone and threatened them with whips and saws? If you really believe your actions were justified then go ahead and justify your actions. Don't pretend you didn't want to hurt people when it is obvious you did.

Footage of Samuel Corner swinging the sledgehammer and hitting the female police officer has been released.

He then accused the police officer of being complicit in genocide and then complained that his handcuffs were too tight,

And he's pleading not guilty.

What a fucking arsehole he is.

Thank you.

On 9 August 2025, a demonstration supporting Palestine Action was held in London. Lots of protestors were arrested including activist Moazzam Begg who had previously moved his family to Taliban controlled Afghanistan in 2001 since he considered it an "economical place to bring up his family and one where they wouldn't be harassed for their race" (one where women and girls are not treated terribly well though). He wrote that by 2001 the Taliban had made "some modest progress in social justice and upholding pure, old Islamic values forgotten in many Islamic countries" although he did finally criticise the Taliban for its human rights abuses.(eventually small mercies).

Not someone I'd follow personally. Thinking skills appear to be fuzzy when sitting in the road with others.

No, I know. My answer was in response to you asking why use the picture of children in Gaza. Its because that site is biased propaganda and they are trying to deflect or insinuate that the actions were justified. See how they dont mention specifics, just that they were "carrying sledgehammers" and charged with crimes. I know you didn't post it but just pointing out that it's not a reliable source and the person who did post it has their own agenda I'm sure

Its a joke. Nonevof it actually helps Palestinian people whom they pretend they are taking action for, they are virtue signalling thugs.

No, he’s one of the ones charged with vandalising the RAF planes and costing us millions of pounds to fix them. No sympathy there either, particularly as they thought the planes were used to refuel Israeli bombers and they aren’t; they couldn’t be even if they wanted to because they use different refuelling systems.

Yes he is.

He’s just an utter disgrace isn’t he.

One of the 6 political prisoners on hunger strike? Are these the same 6? How can he justify that having seen the evidence? It's he saying that a trial by jury in a British court is not a ' fair trial'? That's quite a claim, even from him. Even that idiot lawyer who ' defended' the Manchester thugs backed down Sharpish as soon as he saw the evidence of what they did.

Clearly supports the action of the 6 thugs.

He states: "My constituent is one of six political prisoners on hunger strike, demanding the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action.

I have written to David Lammy to demand urgent action.

The government knows the truth: the weight of history is against them."

The 6 are having a fair trial in a British court, with their own legal representation and arguments for prosecution and defence (as happens here).

Is he thick, or just totally loved up with support for violence against others and criminal damage, in the name of Palestinian support?

What's wrong with him!. A policewoman had her spine broken by a thug with a sledgehammer who hit her when defenceless on the floor how is that ever ok?

Fortunately, there is CCTV and bodycam evidence being shown in.court.

Similar stories about the individuals are published in many newspapers and news sites.

I'll share some so you can see the story about their actions and subsequent charges and trial are not invented.

Because that website is propaganda funded by Qatar and not a reliable source in the slightest.

Literally what is wrong with these people?

Jeremy Corbyn has just posted a letter on twitter that he has written to David Lammy whinging about the proscription of Palestine Action too.

"Legal and Political Context
The existence and contents of the manual, particularly its advocacy for serious criminal damage, were a major factor in the UK government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 in July 2025.
The UK's definition of terrorism includes not just violence against people, but also serious damage to property when designed to influence the government or intimidate the public for a political cause.
Activists have been arrested and prosecuted for actions that align with the manual's guidance, including incidents where sledgehammers were used in break-ins at sites belonging to the Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems.
Prosecutors have accused activists of using sledgehammers as weapons in some instances, for example, allegedly striking a police officer during an action.
The full manual was reportedly still available online after the proscription was announced. For informational purposes regarding legal actions related to the manual, a public source can be found in a UK intelligence report document hosted by the New York Times"

Good grief.

"The Palestine Action "Underground Manual" (also referred to as a digital manual or handbook) contains specific instructions and encouragement for activists to use sledgehammers to cause significant property damage. The manual advises that "With an efficient sledgehammer in your hand, you can cause quite a bit of damage"

It beggars belief that pensioners sitting down in the streets would support thugs like this. They truly are useful idiots, befitting the term.

I agree it shouldn't be. Perhaps to gain sympathy for the thugs on trial?

These are violent thugs and their actions have not helped Palestinians at all.
