  1. #SallyRooney, #GretaThunberg and #BrianEno have written to the court of appeal in support of #PalestineAction before next week’s hearing 28th 29th to determine the lawfulness of the ban on the direct action protest group.

    The letter, composed of only seven words – “We oppose genocide, we support Palestine Action” – is signed by more than 130 people and is the first time that prominent scholars, writers and activists have come together to defy the ban

    Effectively making them terrorists.

  2. "The disappearance of my work from bookshops would mark a truly extreme incursion by the state into the realm of artistic expression" #SallyRooney #PalestineAction

  3. Vähän erikoisempi oli tämä romaani kahdesta veljestä ja heidän kummallisista elämäntilanteistaan. Nopealukuinen kirja.

    “I wish that I could be with you this evening to accept the honour in person, but because of my support for non-violent anti-war protest, I’m advised that I can no longer safely enter the UK without potentially facing arrest,” the statement said.

    Rooney has said that she intends to continue supporting the group, including donating earnings from her books and BBC adaptations of her work.

  5. Rooney lives somewhere around Mayo in Ireland (republic), so arresting her isn't an option until she goes to the UK? Never can be sure people in UK media know that it really is not in any way the same jurisdiction.

  6. “Activists who disrupt the flow of weapons to a genocidal regime may violate petty criminal statutes, but they uphold a far greater law and a more profound human imperative: to protect a people and culture from annihilation,” she wrote.

  7. It's heart-warming to see the #Torygraph going ape over #SallyRooney's pledge to support #PalestineAction. Two splenetic rants today. 😂🤣

    Downing Street's decision to boost the story today has given Rooney's opposition to #genocide in #Gaza another day in the #Telegraph headlines. <3 And more headlines in the less frothy news media.

  8. Novelist #SallyRooney set a trap for the #UK government. ❤ They ran into it. 🤣

    Rooney wrote in #TheIrishTimes that she supports #PalestineAction, and would donate her royalties from the #BBC to PA.

    Her article is illegal in the UK. So are her donations. But Rooney is an Irish citizen living in Ireland, so the UK government can do sod all about it.

    The wise response by the #UKgov would have been silence. But of course, they chose instead to give the story new legs. 🙄

  9. Thanks to #SallyRooney for expressing it so clearly: "The present UK government has willingly stripped its own citizens of basic rights and freedoms, including the right to express and read dissenting opinions, in order to protect its relationship with Israel." #Gaza #Palestine #IsraelTerroristState #FakeTerrorism

  10. Har till slut avslutat #Intermezzo av #SallyRooney . Tyckte mycket om den, tror hennes bästa hittills imho. Om att bryta normer, sorg, syskonrelationer. Skrivet på Rooneys lite speciella stil, som jag oxå gillar
