Arresti dopo protesta a sostegno dell’azione della Palestina

Was the protest ‘in support of Palestine Action’?
Or against the proscribing of the group?

These are not the same thing.

If we set aside what this group were actually protesting, whether you agree with them or not, it does feel (to me) like an overreach to describe Palestinian Action as a terrorist group, I have to say. What’s alarming is just how loose the government’s definition of a terrorist group actually is. Technically, they might fit that definition, but the worrying part is that almost any protest group in history could be labelled the same way. Many of those groups, from the Peasants’ Revolt to the movements that led to the Magna Carta, planted the seeds for the very democracy we and MPs claim to value today.

It’s deeply ironic that our elected MPs would categorise almost every just cause in history as terrorism. They’ve shown their hand, that all but 26 of them would stamp out the very groups that gave us the rights and freedoms we have now, if they could.

So my question is: who the fuck do these MPs think they’re working for?
