The distance between #Dublin and #London is 464 miles, #asthecrowflies.
But as #GretaThunberg learnt today, it's about a million miles in politics.
In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England/#UK.
@2legged She did not get arrested for opposing genocide. She got arrested for allegedly supporting Palestine Action, which is designated as a terrorist organization in the UK.
You can criticize the law in the UK and how it is being applied. But do not spread misinformation. Not here on Mastodon.

The people of Ireland still remember what hunger is - and it's no games (1845)- so their government acts accordingly.
The people of England is still trying to forget how they left starve to death millions of people in India (1876), so their government, too, acts accordingly.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
