‘I feel fully confident from what I see every day, broadcast through my phone’
If ever there was a statement that fully summed up and condemned the state of 2025, it’s this one.
A reminder that you are free to support Palestine by protesting and advocating for the people of Gaza as people have done every day and every week for nearly 2 years now.
While I don’t support Palestine Action, I hope people understand the gravity of the proscription and why we need to support those who are risking their careers and livelihoods to oppose it.
This is the first time a group has been proscribed SOLELY because it is causing “serious damage to property”. Even the counter-terrorism report says that this is the only relevant clause that the Home Office can proscribe them for. When the Terrorism Act was introduced, people obviously objected to this, but the Labour government said at the time that it won’t be used against direct action groups, but rather it’s intended to target those who damage properties for the purpose of harming or killing innocent civilians.
25 years later, after Extintion Rebellion, JSO, Youth Demand causing all sorts of disruption and havoc to our lives, the government has not invoked this clause before, but they have used it now against Palestine Action.
Why? Because proscription allows them to do one thing that other legislations can’t: ban them from speaking in any public forums, online or offline. It also makes any organisation speaking about Elbit System’s complicity more risky than before. This is a blatant attack on the freedom of speech.
Which is why these pensioners and the man here are fully deserved of support – they are showing how unworkable the anti-terror legislation is, and why the “serious damage to property” clause should be removed entirely. If the government is allowed to get away with it, any direct action groups can legally be proscribed as terror groups, shutting down a significant element of protests against government.
The Metropolitan Police Federation said the demand for policing protests in London was “relentless” and “not sustainable”.
“Our colleagues have and continue to lose time with their families, friends and loved ones because they have been pulled into London to police protests,” a spokesperson said.
“We must remember there are no “extra” police officers. Officers are emotionally and physically exhausted. The demand is relentless. And it’s not sustainable.”
WTF has this nonsense got to do with anything? The BBC should be ashamed of itself for shoehorning this anti-protest crap into an article to push their zionist agenda.

Yes that’s the bloody point, random people who previously didn’t even know PA existed are now willing to break policing and the courts on a point of principle. That’s law making right there, what the people want they get in the end, no need to resist it. Just accept the state is in the wrong and the people are in the right and this stops.

I suggest everyone read this. Every word, every link, every detail, because we’re literally at the point where:
‘sharing a belief or opinion of a proscribed organization’ is an offense, and one of the most severe in the UK.
Therefore, ask yourself, are you now a terrorist by definition? Because I know I am.
They lie in the media, the law is straight forward, people have already been convicted of this offense using that language. It’s an offense for which all of us are guilty, because who in their right mind doesn’t want genocide to be stopped and believe that it may be necessary to break the law to do so?
Felt like they had to support a terrorist group.
Sound logic.
It’s a strange one because they can freely protest for Palestine, and no one would care to stop them.
But these individuals seem less interested in protesting for Palestine and more interested in protesting their support for a particular group (PA).
It feels like they care less about Palestine and more about supporting more extreme acts of protest.
A reminder that not only did PA cause up to £7 million pounds of damage, they put pilots at potential risk of death by damaging aircraft.
If these acts were allowed to continue, they may have also set a precedent where military equipment becomes legitimate targets for protest.
People neglect the seriousness of their actions. It has nothing to do with censorship but protecting lives.
It’s hard not to protest the genocide of children. Anyone in the UK government that’s involved or has been involved in helping Israel’s slaughter needs to be arrested and put in front of the Hague.
No excuse for what Israel is doing and even less of an excuse to support them.
Never again was a lie, and even worse the UK now aids the mass murder.
Edit: wow the Israel bots really have fallen off, you guys used to be able to change what was visible on the UK subs in an instant, not many left now.
It’s funny how these people never protest against hamas. I bet they’re not starving.
First they came for Palestinian Action but I did not support Palestinian action.
These protests are basically the equivalent of a group of schoolchildren telling each other they can’t all be punished if they stage a mass walkout.
