The only people being arrested in the Uk are for supporting a proscribed group. A group that broke a police officers back with sledge hammers, committed multiple acts of vandalism against our military, and have tons of links to Hamas They can oppose Israel action in Palestine, they just can’t support terrorists

De facto, arresting 80 year old women for holding signs is always going to look authoritarian. They're not exactly the type to strap on a vest but we have to pretend we dont know what a terrorist looks like.

    I find that physically unlikely.

        Then why did you say 80-year old women were "the type to sledgehammer police officers though apparently" and then immediate shift the goalposts? Further, the statement "The only people being arrested in the Uk are for supporting a proscribed group" is patently false; the UK government has not limited its arrests for social media posts to those expressing support for Hamas. You are not engaging in good faith discussion.

        "The only people being arrested in the Uk are for supporting a proscribed group." Why are you claiming that members of Palestine Action are the only people being arrested in the UK for speech? That is not true. Low-effort, bad-faith trolling contributes nothing to the discussion. https://archive.ph/20250906150110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/03/the-victims-of-britains-free-speech-crackdown/ https://archive.ph/20250906150110/https://www.telegraph.co.u...
