  • Iraq war protestors did the same thing in 2003 and they were acquitted at trial by the jury. Their barrister was…Keir Starmer

    There were similar attacks on RAF jets during the genocide on Myanmar I believe. They were also acquitted by a jury

The government doesn’t want juries to acquit them as they most likely would, given the history of direct action in this country.
