A SWANSEA judge has thrown out a case involving a city woman who made a headline- grabbing protest at a city store earlier this year.

Dee Murphy — one of the so-called Tesco Two — was charged with theft after she and former journalist Greg Wilkinson upended a shopping trolley outside the city centre Tesco store and sprayed its contents with blood-red paint and ketchup. The trolley had been loaded with dates, herbs and salad items from the store.

Their actions were in protest at Tesco selling food produced in the West Bank, an area of Palestine occupied for the past 42 years by Israel.

No action was taken against 72-year-old Mr Wilkinson, of Brynmill, while Ms Murphy, of Mount Pleasant, was charged with stealing food items worth £169.

But at Swansea Crown Court Judge John Diehl QC granted a defence application for dismissal of the case and Ms Murphy walked free from the court.

    “Woody you are a racist, anti-semitic supporter of terrorists and nazis - ie Islamofascists. As such, your opinions are worth nothing so I shall ignore them.

    Just to say - you do not know history in any accurate sense of the word. As for propaganda and lies - well you'll know all about them and you have clearly been brainwashed by the Muslim multiculti lie strategy.

    Israel is here to stay nazi boy so get used to it, and muslims are so backwards and primitive all they can do is blow themselves up like the loser paedos they are.

    I hope you get blown up by one of your islamofascist anti-zionist jew-hating West-hating nazi scum. Good riddance.

    And I take it you now support anyone who steals food from a supermarket is it's from a countgry they don;t like. Well, in that case, I'll look out for all imports from Muslim dictatorships and steal them and smash them outside - because now I know I can't be prosecuted according to precedence now set by this case.

    Islamism = Nazi-ism

    Anyone who supports it should be ashamed.”

    “No shortage of laughs here...

    The country called Palestine was known to the Greeks in the 5th century BC and later to the Romans and the Christian Crusaders. The Jews were thrown out by the Romans and didn't bother to come back in any numbers for 1600 years, many centuries after the Roman Empire had crumbled - that's how important the land was to them. Jerusalem itself was already 2000 years old and an established, fortified city when King David captured it. It dates back 5000 years and the name is derived from Uru-Shalem, meaning ¿founded by Shalem (the Canaanite God of Dusk)¿.

    Jerusalem, in its ¿City of David¿ form, lasted a mere 73 years. In 928BC the Kingdom divided into Israel and Judah, and in 597BC the Babylonians conquered the city and destroyed Solomon¿s temple. The Jews recaptured it in 164BC but finally lost it to the Roman Empire in 63BC. Before the present troubles the Jews, in total, controlled Jerusalem for some 500 years, small beer compared to the 1,277 years it was subsequently ruled by Muslims and the 2000 years it originally belonged to the Canaanites. It was even a Christian kingdom for 88 years.

    BTW there was no Balfour "agreement". It was a dumb-ass letter from the foreign secretary to the top Jew in England, Lord Rothschild, containing a "declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations¿ with no consultation or regard for the native population. It said that the British Government "viewed with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing and non-Jewish communities¿" A White Paper later on said that Jewish immigrants would become Palestinian citizens.

    As you're so hot on "facts", Eddie, these details might come in useful the next time to try to swamp readers with propaganda lies.

    Tell me, what makes you think I'm a Muslim nazi? And what makes you think that all Palestine belongs to the Jews - G-d gave them the title deeds, did He?”

    “Woody - you are not only an ignorant easily-led fool - you are also a nazi appeaser and supporter. No doubt you ,love Hitler too, just like the Muslims who visited Berlin to support him in the Holocaust.

    You want to destroy Israel and let the Arabs destroy it - because you have swalloed the media's lies.

    Balfour agreement? Yes, that stands and Israel has a right to exist. Palestine was NEVER a country you idiot - NEVER. Most 'Palestinians and from Syria or Jordan and should not be there - the Arab states deliberately keep the place poor to con people into believing Israel is responsible for their suffering. No, the ARABS created this mess.

    As I said before I hope you get hoist by your own petard and get blown up by an Islamofascist bomb - you will then get a taste of what you support and how Israel and its children have suffered at the hands of these barbarians.

    Hammas = Islamism = Nazi-ism

    Now why don't you go and live with your Islamofascist chums? Why stay in the West and benefit from a culture whose democracy and values your pals despise and want to destroy?

    TRAITOR AND HYPOCRITE

    ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWS AND HAS DONE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE ARABS STOLE THEIR LAND

    But don;t let facts get in the way of your deep racism and anti-semitism you Muslim pig”

    “Wow, you are self-destructing spectacularly, Eddie.

    As you're clearly a Zionist stooge, you should know that Zionism is a political movement that hides behind religious skirts. You mustn't confuse Jews and Zionists. Many Jews are not Zionists and actively oppose the Z-freaks. Some Christians, especially Fundamentalist (G-d help them), are Zionists - like the idiot Balfour who kicked off all this trouble back in 1917. Didn't you know that? There's a shed-full of stuff you don't know..... that's obvious.

    Hurry up and treat us to the final, hysterical, hate-filled 'Big Bang', Eddie, so we can all go to bed happy.”

    “Woody - you are makingh excuses for Hammas in exactly the same way people made excuses for Hitler. YOu are a nazi appeaser that's all. Some of us aren't, thankfully.

    And why do you say Zionist instead of Jew? Oh you say that to avoid falling foul of the race relations act like all anti-semite Islamists.

    There was Islamic terrorism WAY before we were in Iraq and Afghanistan - and how you can support the nazis in the Islamic world is beyond me. It is our duty to intervene and stop these nazis. And remember MOST MUSLIMS WHO ARE KILLED ARE KILLED BY MUSLIMS.

    Islmic terrorism happens because Islam is a backwards and vile disgusting primitive nazi religion in the way it's interpreted by many these days. Our behaviour does not matter - they will hate us always for being Western infidels and for being better tha them at everything in our advanced culture, just as they hate liberal non-literalist muslims. Your making excuses for them is disgusting - you are essentially supportiung nazi murderers and you are in no way a liberal at all.

    You are an ignorant fool Woodentop boy. As I said, I hope you suffer at the hands of Islamofascists so you can realise how misguided you are.”
