Palestine Action Protest

Claremont

Vile and condescending comment- quite obviously, despite the non attempt to hide - very personal about some of us here, useful idiots. Why should anyone be hit with a fine for holding a placard telling the truth.

Because the group are proscribed, obvious innit? A group who do violent things and ruin military planes.
By all means protest but don’t hold up placards supporting them.

I'd be proud to be one of them- much better than being.... (best not said). Thinking about Pauline Quirk here.

Yvette Cooper says the group have a long history of violent protests.
Groups are not proscribed for nothing.
There’s nothing stopping anyone peacefully protesting about Gaza it’s gone on for almost two years.
There’ll be well meaning older people ( sometimes known as useful idiots) carrying placards and glueing themselves to the tarmac. Don’t send them to prison, hit them each with a fine of £1,000.

Thank you for that.

Must be just me.
I think peaceful protests whould be allowed in the Uk about anything. I think.

Anything? 😁I think not.

‘Action’ tends not to be ‘peaceful’.

There probably has been a thread about this subject before on GN.
I would be interested to read through it, if that is indeed the case.

Thank you for that.
