PROTESTERS NOW RELEASED ON BAIL
The @ukhomeoffice stated yesterday that “The proscription of Palestine Action does not affect lawful protest in support of the Palestinian cause.”
But hundreds were given bail conditions today not to attend any protests in support of Palestine.

The UK is refusing to let me enter the country to report on and investigate the ongoing crackdown against elderly Palestine supporters because my “presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good.”

“WE ARE PALESTINE ACTION”
The brave group of remaining signholders are now chanting “we are Palestine Action” while holding their “terrorist” signs.
They’re coaxing the police to arrest them and to show consistency if they truly believe this law is to be enforced.

Ian seems to suggest that quietly holding a piece of paper should be responded to with “police dogs and horses and truncheons” (oh my!)
You can always trust a genocide cheerleader to respond to peace with violence. It truly is all they know.
What would happen if football fans this afternoon blocked the roads and pavements, ignored the police and told them not to interrupt them?
There’d be police dogs and horses and truncheons.
These ridiculous self-reverential, virtuous and entitled fools could “support Palestine” in any number of legal ways but think the law shouldn’t apply to them.
Pathetic.

ONE MAN LEFT
We are once again asking for the Met to offer a shred of consistency if they are going to enforce this unjust and absurd law.
After hundreds were arrested outside the US Embassy in London, one man was ignored.
End the madness. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

STAND OFF
@metpoliceuk officers have disappeared into vans and appear to be giving up!
After remaining“terrorist” signholders were left on the pavement, they decided to sit at the cordon entrance on the road to force the Met’s hand.
Where’s the urgency to tackle terrorism?!
