“I pulled up behind a Cadillac
We were waiting for the light
And I took a look at his license plate
It said, "just ice"
Is justice just ice?
Governed by greed and lust?
Just the strong doing what they can
And the weak suffering what they must?
Oh, and the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
Sex kills”–Joni Mitchell, “Sex Kills” on Turbulent Indigo, 1994

Mike Luckovich political cartoon
UK. US
Justice vs Just ICE
Andrew being led away by cop vs cop leading away a kid.@saskboy
Aren't laws the ones to provide justice? -
@rbreich Hah. But let's not get too carried away. You can still get cuffed for supporting Palestine Action in the UK. That and ICE's brutality are pretty closely linked. Fascists gonna fash.
@themooserooster @rbreich I think we’re right to be worried about the direction of travel in the UK but the US is a long way ahead of us down that road

@rbreich I'm skeptic if this arrest will be worth it. Also, if this investigation is gonna pay off. He could still get protected by his brother (the King).

@miggi @rbreich What will be interesting is that the King will probably bankroll his defence while also being the prosecutor. The royal family will close ranks because their survival depends on it, so there will be no problem feeding #AndrewFormerlyKnownAsPrince to the wolves.

@laetsgo hmm the cartoon: Let’s see if the former Duke is actually jailed. It’s very uncommon indeed for the U.K. state to imprison anyone who turns up in court in an expensive suit sadly.
I have though, thought for a long time that the USA bleating about not having a monarchy is a hollow boast when they allow their President’s to get away with anything, and frequently anoint their successors who are often relations. -
