In Glasgow 64 year old Sean Clerkin has been charged under the Terrorism Act for holding a placard reading "Genocide in Palestine, Time to Take Action".

He's effectively banned from the city centre until his court date.

UK courts are slowly filling with groups of these elderly, peaceful "terrorists", making a mockery of the law.

@BobLefridge "freedom of speech and expression" and all that, or did he do something wrong? Like ignoring a areal prohibition, or whatever it's called in English

@feike Nah! Even a dopey copper can read big letters like that, from a few metres away.
They'll say he is supporting Palestine Action...which he can deny. @BobLefridge

@Tooden @BobLefridge so support for palistine action is a crime!?

I haven't red the UK's civil code of crimes, so, you can tell me anything…

@feike @Tooden @BobLefridge Palestine Action is the name of an organisation that has recently been prescribed as a terrorist organisation under UK law, after they spray painted the engines of an RAF plane as a form of direct action protest.

@damien @Tooden @BobLefridge the Dutch equivalent would be forbidding #ExtinctionRebellion, which some voices in the #SecondChamber want to do actually.
