An advertisement for the APF Imagination Machine home computer, from 1979 or thereabouts, with the caption "Momma never told me there'd be nights like this." A glamourous lady in a low-cut strappy dress is looking happily at the computer, while a suave man in an open collared shirt and brown suit has his hand on her shoulder and is giving a smile to the camera. He looks a lot like he has been mansplaining something. There is an open fire in the background, for extra romance.

Text reading as follows: "Madam Deputy Speaker, I am going to exercise the privilege of this House to place something on the public record that the mainstream press has chosen to ignore. Six Palestine Action activists face retrial after being acquitted in February following a year in prison. If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that. The jury could convict them on criminal damage charges with no idea that terrorism sentences will follow. Not a single terrorism charge has been brought forward. The proscription has been ruled unlawful, and the defendants themselves have been banned from telling the jury that they acted to stop genocide under threat of contempt charges. This is what a stitch-up looks like, and it is part of the same pattern: a Labour Government that will do whatever it takes to silence dissent, protect Israeli death factories and escape accountability."
