I am baffled as to why you should join the argument at this point, and talk about who Miller is, or is not.
If he was carrying a placard saying “burn the Jews” he is being antisemitic and should be arrested .
If he’s only been to funeral, he’s done nothing wrong. .
While you and others here are so obviously comfortable with your enemies being persecuted, I am not, because there’s a word for that ideology.
You will of course have read the article, and got the bit where it said :
Miller was held for three and a half hours under Section 7, which deprives detained people of their right to silence and privacy despite carrying no assumed suspicion
Can you take us through what happened cognitively, at this point ?
Because it means the police didn’t have to suspect him of anything. And there is nothing that says this did suspect him of anything .
We really need you to nail this bit, before we can explain the concept that “guilt by association “ is not a real thing, at least in English law.
It’s the same legal standard that means if your mom sells crack, you aren’t automatically a crack dealer also.
What crime is he suspected of and by whom ?
Inarguably.
The US were very much involved in separating the UK from the EU.
When Trump was elected and made pronouncement about Greenland, and Musk started doing his Tommy Robinson schtick, I wrote (not here) that the sooner Europe recognised its is under attack from the US the better.
The point being made, is the persecution of Miller, who has committed no crime, was not suspected of any crime, for attending a funeral.
You can flap all you want - whos funeral is was is immaterial. There’s not much nuance to it.
Your links :
In 2000, HonestReporting started as a small email list alerting subscribers to anti-Israel media bias. When the organization took on The New York Times over the adjacent photo, the real fight back began as the power of numbers proved its value. Since then, HonestReporting has evolved into the world’s premier grassroots media watchdog organization defending Israel against media bias.
I hate to ask, but you have anything that doesn’t openly declare it reason for existing is to advance an Israeli narrative?
Well said.
The template exists, Liberalism has failed in America with its failure to address the working class and its obsession with identity politics.
I expect the UK to follow the same path, is it is trodden.
Farage runs against a Conservative Party led by a black woman, and Starmer who is neither popular nor likeable .
Miller was held for three and a half hours under Section 7, which deprives detained people of their right to silence and privacy despite carrying no assumed suspicion, and questioned about his trip to Lebanon. He was subsequently released without charge.
This will be the erosion of civil liberties Musk and Vance are so upset about , right ? Free association etc etc ?
Even the UN don’t like it.

Here is the reality :
posh people do arts because they can afford to do it, and not have to earn. This has been the case for hundreds of years and private school has nothing to do with it.
The chances of making a living in the arts for anyone outside London, is next to zero. So to ignore the facts it’s enormously London centric kills any credibility .
Perhaps also consider what qualifies Andy Haldane, career economist at the Bank of England, to magically transfer his bean counting talent, into top job I. The Arts as chair of the RSA .
And then consider the only workers strike in its 270 year history took place on his watch .
Obviously the BBC is meant to be an independent, unbiased source of information
Where did you get that idea ?
The BBC is state apparatus.
i disagree somewhat.
it’s certainly a jarring change in narrative, but i think trump will be brought into line by the ‘deep state’, the donors, the intelligence services, etc… US foreign policy is a 50 odd year plan. it would monumental task to disentangle US from EU and I can’t imagine a world in which the US allows the EU to do what ever what it wants.
