It is, but they’ve been in for less than two weeks so apportioning blame on them isn’t really fair.

I’m solely blaming the previous administration for bringing the law in, but the new one has acted to head off an overcrowding in prisons crisis without tackling the input. I hope this case will spur them to stop this fascist nonsense as the obvious next step.

So do I. I think it's ridiculous to hand out custodial sentences for peaceful protest, even more so when prison capacity is at breaking point. But, rightly or wrongly, parliament is sovereign so to repeal or replace legislation requires parliamentary work which takes time.
