4 d. ago A chance encounter threw me into the campaign to expose the police killing of Jean Charles de Menezes. What happened next changed my life

It’s 20 years since the innocent Brazilian man was shot dead at Stockwell station after being mistaken for a terrorist in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings. A few days later, I found myself standing beside his friend at a vigilOn 7 July 2005, I was a bright-eyed 24-year-old working for the Association of University Teachers, based just off Tavistock Square in central London. I spent my days working on equal pay campaigns for the higher education trade union and my weekends dancing with friends at drum’n’bass clubs. That morning, I caught the bus to work earlier than usual, getting off opposite the location where, one hour later, Leeds-born Hasib Hussain detonated a bomb that killed 13 people.By the time we heard the explosion, tension had already gripped our offices. Three bombs had exploded on the London transport network, including one between King’s Cross and Russell Square station, which was minutes from where we were.

8 d. ago This column does not express support for Palestine Action – here’s why | Owen Jones

In Britain’s increasingly authoritarian society, any sort of protest can find itself at odds with the law. You might even go to jailThis piece must be carefully written to avoid my being imprisoned for up to 14 years. That’s a curious sentence to say as a newspaper columnist in Britain in 2025. But since the government voted to proscribe the direct action protest group Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act, any statement seen as expressing support could lead to arrest and prosecution.You may justifiably respond that Guardian journalists are not above the law. For example, if I penned a column in support of al-Qaida, you might be sympathetic to incarceration: it did, after all, kill nearly 3,000 people on 9/11, as well as perpetrate multiple terrorist atrocities such as the 2004 Madrid train bombings, and the 7 July London bombings two decades ago. Similarly, you may conclude that a polemic in favour of Islamic State should be met with a hefty prison sentence.Owen Jones is a Guard...
