UK’s slide into authoritarianism by the Israeli bootlicker Keith Starmer
this is only going to get solved by mass lawsuits for wrongful arrests and not a single guilty plea.
It’s not a wrongful arrest though, she was supporting a proscribed terrorist group, rather than any other legitimate group.
“On suspicion” and it’s innocent until proven guilty.
Yes. Thank you. I fluffed up the link. Should be fixed now.
Our man Keith
Being an old, white, middle class woman shouldn’t make you above the law.
Supporting a proscribed group when there are dozens of legit pro Palestine groups is obviously a stupid thing to do.
Tankies feel free to downvote ❤️
The law is so vague that carrying anything mentioning Palestine can now get you arrested for supporting a terrorist group depending on the whim of the arresting officer.
This is an attack on the right of protest pure and simple. You should be alarmed that protests that those in power don’t agree with can be labelled terrorism and banned. This is straight from the Russian playbook.
The government are now just branding any and all anti-Israel, anti-IDF, pro-palestinian rally or protest as “supporting Palestine Action” and using that to shut it down and arrest people.
Whether or not anyone actually said or did anything in support of that particular organisation.
Whether or not you believe that defining Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation or not, that’s a dangerous precedent to set.
“Dangerous” works too, but I prefer “fascist.” Authoritarian states are built on legal fictions like these.
No they aren’t. Palestine Action is illegal. Because they’re terrorists. The rest are fine.
You’re the daftest fucking idiot alive if you think spray painting a slogan makes you a terrorist organization.
And you’re even fucking dafter if you think you deserve punishment for protesting unjust laws. Like literally you should go back and retake all of high school and middle school because you learned absolutely jack shit.
I’m sorry that you’re a terrorist-supporting idiot.
Why do you want British people dead so much? Are you an asset for Russia or something? Moron.
Go back to bed gramps
Supporting a proscribed group when there are dozens of legit pro Palestine groups is obviously a stupid thing to do.
It’s also an exercise of her inalienable right to freedom of speech. Welcome to democracy, where the government isn’t supposed to be able to make opinions illegal.
There are and have always been limitations to free speech. I can’t, for example, threaten to kill someone.
That also applies to supporting proscribed terrorist groups.
Disgusting that you’re fine with supporting them.
How does it feel like being a fascist?
