Good, and up the fine for “repeated” arrestees. If they want to protest in support of a terrorist organisation, make it a very expensive hobby.
Edit: since people obviously don’t read the article the terrorist organisation here is “Palestine Action” who have been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK government. Showing or expressing support for Palestine Action is a crime in the UK

What a disgrace….not even Germany is doing this to peaceful protests, at least.
Edit: Stay classy, Europe….right wingers ganging up and negging my post when it is the truth (Berlin had a huge pro-Palestine protest a few days ago and police there did not arrest those who were not rioting nor being violent).

You don’t want to hear this, but maybe don’t support Palestine Action.
Maybe turn up to the protest and protest for Palestine, but drop the supporting a terrorist organisation??
Maybe then shit like this won’t happen?
What did you all expect when you turn up in support of a group that’s labelled as a terrorist organisation.
It’s not hard? You’ll didn’t turn up in support of Isis when you wanted out of the middle east.

“Pro-Palestinian vigil”. It was a protest for Palestine Action, not for Palestine, shameful reporting.

Meanwhile in spain I went to a protest in the most Conservative region in spain and over 10 % of the whole city was out chanting for isreal to be destroyed. The UK is a fucking pacified, self loathing shit hole.

Maybe they should just repeal the proscription? It’d certainly be easier than making the police arrest hundreds of people

People are having themselves arrested for their right to hold peaceful protests. But I’m sure that further criminalizing their actions will certainly make them stop.

Meanwhile, actual terrorists in Ireland are left free to prepare to kill people, while their mates in the PSNI are overseas arresting people for holding up signs
It is my understanding that this is the first case where a UK-based protest group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation solely for property damage, without violence against people.
To me it raises questions about the threshold being lowered or reinterpreted politically.
Other protest groups (e.g. climate activists, Fairford Five, animal rights saboteurs) have committed similar property damage and were not treated as terrorists, which suggests political selectivity, not legal consistency.
If the government had clear, serious evidence of:
Plans to harm people, Foreign direction, Espionage or state sabotage etc
It could publish even a redacted summary, or present it in parliamentary or judicial review. But it hasn’t.
That absence has led me to suspect the case may not rest on compelling evidence, but rather a strategic legal framing of protest as extremism.

There was a thing in the 2010s, that people would say that “I defend your rights even if I disagree with you”, it was a nice sentiment, that got a lot of traction every time it was referenced.
Now came the moment of truth, and it was a lie.

Kier Starmer’s regime banning opposition to the genocide they’re complicit in. UK is pretty much on path to be like Russia or Belarus at this rate.
