Brits can sleep safely tonight, after the heroic work of the Metropolitan Police. The Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, a retired priest, was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

Under British law, this now puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist. The courts may impose a prison sentence of up to 14 years, to protect the public against the existential threat posed by this very dangerous woman.

@2legged is it bad that my first thought was "someone needs to create a new organisation called Action for Palestine and just do all the same shit Palestine Action was doing but as a different group"?
@pmb00cs @2legged that group would be automatically proscribed.
@vashti @pmb00cs @2legged the Gov will never be able to stop direct action. The new group is called “Yvette Cooper” and they’ve already targetted a logistics firm involved in transporting weapons to Israel. Going to be hilarious watch the weak pathetic influenced by the Israeli lobby Cooper proscribe herself
