So while we're correctly honouring women who would be called terrorists today, does that mean non violent protesters now will get an 'XR ferry' in the future?

Non violent climate activist Gaie Delap, aged 77, is facing imprisonment in the UK again due to home tagging wristbands not being made small enough for her, and an ankleband not being safe due to her health.

Only we can save us.

"Whales are recovering from near extinction, but industrial fishing around Antarctica competes for their sole food source.
Nearly all of this catch is used to make two products: fish meal for aquaculture, and omega-3 dietary supplements. Most of the fish meal feeds farmed salmon, which develop their familiar pink color from consuming the food."
