Not On Our Watch — static site

Three pages, no build step, no dependencies. Drop the folder on any static host and it works.

index.html     the one-page brochure (A4, print-ready)
sources.html   annotated source dossier, lean-flagged
hansard.html   deep links into the Lords debate of 3 March 2021
style.css      shared styles for sources + hansard

index.html is deliberately self-contained and does not use style.css. Its print layout is tuned to A4 and I didn't want a stylesheet change to silently break it. Edit it directly.

Deploying

Upload all four files to the subdomain root. That's it.

  • Netlify / Vercel / Cloudflare Pages — drag the folder into the deploy box.
  • GitHub Pages — push to a repo, enable Pages on the branch root.
  • Any web host — FTP/rsync into public_html or equivalent.

No server-side anything. No JavaScript. No cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts — nothing that needs a consent banner, which is deliberate.

The only external request is a Google Fonts stylesheet. If you'd rather have zero third-party calls (worth considering given the subject matter and who visits a site like this), delete the <link> tags in the <head> of each page and the @import line at the top of style.css. The fallback stacks are already in place and it degrades gracefully — heavier body serif, system condensed for headings.

Printing the brochure

Open index.html, print, select A4, margins "None" or "Default", and make sure "Background graphics" is on or the red blocks won't render. The site nav is hidden automatically when printing.

Editing

Colours are CSS variables at the top of each file:

--ink        near-black
--paint      the red
--paint-deep darker red for links and small text
--manila     the file-folder background
--paper      page background

Fonts: Anton (display), Spectral (body), JetBrains Mono (citations, dates, statute references).

Accuracy — the part that actually matters

Two things go stale fast and will discredit the whole site if they're wrong:

  1. The Barclays five have not been sentenced. Listed for September 2026. The defence argument that the damage wasn't sufficiently serious under s.1 Terrorism Act 2000 is live. Every page says "face" not "were". Keep it that way until there's an actual outcome.

  2. The proscription is currently lawful. High Court quashed it in February 2026; Court of Appeal reversed on 15 June 2026 (Home Secretary v Ammori [2026] EWCA Civ 1721). Supreme Court permission is being sought. Anything saying the ban was struck down is out of date.

Update the "Updated" date in the .eyebrow of sources.html whenever you change anything.

Licensing of the material

  • Hansard — Open Parliament Licence v3.0. Reproduce freely, including commercially, with attribution. The attribution line is already in the footer of hansard.html.
  • Legislation — Crown copyright, Open Government Licence. Same freedom.
  • US federal press releases (DOJ) — public domain. Reproduce in full.
  • Press articles — normal copyright. Link to them; don't republish them. The source pages link rather than reproduce, deliberately.

Suggested additions

  • An OG image so the two-headline pair renders when shared. The DOJ headline above the Intercept headline, same event, is the strongest single asset in the whole set and needs no commentary.
  • A square social crop of the £500,000 / £212,805 comparison from the brochure. That comparison travels furthest with people who aren't already convinced.
  • A dated changelog at the bottom of sources.html. On a live legal story, visible version history is what separates a campaign from a rumour.

Barclays 5 is an interesting case... Spray paint the windows, be decided that you are a terrorist?
