Uh, I've had enuff of shitty news; let's switch to another timeline.
Look at that diabolical criminal. I hope they reopen London tower just to hang her from it. After she bakes everyone cookies with afternoon tea.
If she were in the US, she would be pushed to the ground and beaten by a bunch of white guys in riot gear and masks.
What a nice silver lining
Arresting prominent protest figures has always ended well for the UK. /s
As someone stated... The police are not your friend. They are not there to serve and protect your interests. They are there to serve and protect the interests of the state you live in.
The other day my wife's car stopped at a busy road. The police quickly arrived and asked if she had crashed on to my car. Like how can we take this unfortunate event and turn it into a profitable situation where they can impound the car...oh it's just engine failure, well you're blocking the road so I'll call the most expensive possible tow truck. How can we make your day worse?
"Are we the baddies?"
-Said exactly 0 of the cops
Why is the UK against people backing Mandatory Palestine?
I dont know exactly but they are quite fond of bringing the iran monarchy back. Maybe something something oil
Because they helped set israel up and have to be allied with them.
The joke is that Mandatory Palestine was the name of the British colony before they gave the land to Israel
Oh, thank you for explaining!
Mandatory Palestine
the UK is against backing "Palestine Action" which is a group that has sabotaged British military equipment. Surprisingly, the British government doesn't take kindly to that sort of thing.
I support Palestine Action - illegal
I support Action for Palestine - legal
I'm honestly impressed that a left wing organisation lasted long enough to get themselves banned.
They usually split into a dozen warring factions within a month.
As a Brit I still support Palestine Action and will be getting involved in more direct action.
One at me piggies.
I support P.A.
gets arrested
I said I support Pennsylvania, the US State!
They're calling these people terrorists for holding signs calling for the end of Israel's genocide. They're not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists: they're valuable allies. This is the UK Government's morality. I hope it's not shared by the British people.
Technically it's because some members of the group trespassed in a military base and vandalised an airplane. Which is trespassing and vandalism. Not terrorism. Unless Starmer has been watching too much Thomas & the Friends and Pixar's Cars and believes that the poor planes can't sleep at night anymore, because they are terrified.
"We're civilised people, we can excuse genocide, but throwing paint and saying mean words is a step too far."
Also, even if a few members organize themselves to do that, that doesn't mean the entire organization supports it or is behind it.
Feckless cowards.
Genocide accomplices!
Everyone involved with this "law" should be tried and hung in the Hague for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.
Does Israel have dirt on all these people? Its wild how everyone just supports genocide so willingly.
Just wondering, if I would hold up a sign with 'go isreal, continue the amazing work you do!', would that get me arrested? Surely i'd get beat up but i mean what would the lawmakers think of that? Would it be different if the sign would say 'go isreal, murder those innocent families' or 'go isreal, your genocide rules!' (am i allowed to call it a genocide if i'm not against it?)
A very proactieve protestor and lady of the cloth, who seems to have been arrested 27-28 times already. According to this profile publication she claims she "has militant dna, as a maternal ancestor was accused of sedition in the 18th century".
