So, the proscribing of Palestine Action has now led to the arrests of 100 people since the proscription just over a week ago... all peaceful demonstrators.

This is the chilling effect on democracy Yvette Cooper (aided and abetted by most MPs) has bought about... Cooper & her fellow travellers have demonstrated a contempt for democratic protest, that is going to be become increasingly clear.

In Parliament Square today, there were numerous arrests of people holding placards in support of the proscribed organisation #PalestineAction. Amongst these people was 83-year-old Reverend Sue Parfitt

She is some sort of heroine, really.

Only 26 MPs voted against the draft order to amend the Terrorism Act 2000 and proscribe Palestine Action. Westminster exists in a bubble, ignoring the anger and frustration around the country about Britain arming Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/02/uk-mps-vote-to-proscribe-palestine-action-as-terrorist-group
UK MPs vote to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorist group

Minister argues move will not impinge on people’s right to protest but critics call it ‘grave abuse of state power’

@jon Insert #CrossBorderTail punchline!

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

Counter terrorism police aren't bothered with waiting for a ban - four people have been arrested for the protest at RAF Brize Norton, on suspicion of "the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6m79n6q65o
RAF Brize Norton: Four arrested by counter-terror police after break-in

Counter-terrorism police arrest four people after pro-Palestine activists claim they sprayed paint on planes.

BREAKING: Trump has announced that moments ago the United States has attacked 3 nuclear sites in Iran, specifically Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

The vile hypocrisy of this fascist to break the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 despite Iran’s compliance, and now to attack Iran without reason in 2025.

This is 2003 Iraq WMDs all over again and countless innocent people will pay the price for these absurd lies.

@CLondoner92 These incidents are largely an argument for the importance of level boarding
