| 0:00.0 | So the mainstream media are not talking about this. This is the biggest hunger strike on UK soil since 1981. |
| 0:07.7 | That was, of course, a very famous historic hunger strike during the troubles. |
| 0:14.4 | In this particular case, it's about Palestine. It's obviously the ongoing Israeli genocide in Palestine, which is armed and facilitated by the West, including, of course, Britain. |
| 0:28.1 | And we're talking about the Filton 24 here, who were arrested after a raid on the Elbit plant in Filton, which is in Bristol. |
| 0:41.2 | They've been accused of, for example, |
| 0:48.1 | property damage, related offences, and they remain held on demand without trial. They were all, |
| 0:55.5 | of course, activists with Palestine action, which was prescribed by the British government as a terrorist organisation on the same legal footing as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. People know about that, of course, well over |
| 1:03.0 | 2,000 people have been arrested for holding placards opposing genocide. You can't say you support |

| 1:46.2 | who is one of those hunger strikers, and Shemina, who is the sister of Cameron, who is also |
| 1:52.1 | on hunger strike. And, well, firstly, love us solidarity with you. This is a very, very difficult |
| 1:57.9 | time for both of you. And I just want to say, firstly, just all my love and |
| 2:03.5 | support. Can we just start? Just in terms of, just tell it, just quickly, let's talk about |
| 2:10.3 | Shemina. Tell me, tell me about a back climbing in terms of what, you know, the action, why they took part |
| 2:19.2 | on that action and then what happened? |
| 2:24.2 | So just like everyone knows, Karen wasn't an activist before. |
| 2:29.7 | He wasn't very involved with politics. |
