I'm supporting mass civil disobedience. Almost as much as I still support Palestine Action and strongly encourage others to do the same. How absurd that there's probably hundred of thousands, if not millions of people in the UK who support a proscribed organisation. The real terrorists are the ones in the UKG aiding and abetting genocide.

So if I decide to support Palestine Action, for example, donate money (which I have), publish information in support of Palestine Action (which I have), am I liable to be prosecuted?

Well it's a weird situation isn't it as Palestine Action no longer exists, so how can I be prosecuted for supporting something that doesn't exist? Yet what about the 27 people arrested the other day for supporting Palestine Action that doesn't exist?

No Democratic Government would have a law passed deeming a Peaceful Protest Party A TERRORIST GROUP.

It is abundantly obvious that Starmer seeks to crush what remains of freedom of speech and, freedom of the press, and freedom of association in great britain, all to please his American Master.

Hi Asa, recently as I was thinking about the issue of what I call the Gaza Ghetto Genocide, it finally struck me that the western Zionist establishment, and their Zionist jackals that run Israel have entirely DISTORTED the public discussion by using a STRAWMAN!!!!! The REAL ISSUE about Palestine and this current mass-murder by the Israeli arm of the British-American global empire is that the people that are ANTI-WAR and ANTI-GENOCIDE and ANTI-COLONIALIZATION, so we could say those that advocate for PEACE, it is this group that is OPPOSING the WAR MONGERS, the GENOCIDE APOLOGISTS, the COLONIZERS, and the MASS MURDERERS - these are the TRUE sides in the debate - But the clever little BARKING DOGS of the western IMPERIAL ESTABLISHMENT created a. STRAWMAN - claiming if you are pro-Palestine, that. you must be pro-Hamas terrorists, which is utter bullshit. Worse than this they also created the strawman that Israel has a RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE - But self-defense does not mean perpetual war in other people's territory. And by the same logic if Israel has the right to do this then so does every state on earth. Strawman arguments are DESIGNED to keep the public distracted from talking about the REAL ISSUES.

Good luck Asa, keep up the great work, and never forget the true. power in Britain is the British Crown, which includes the monarchy, bankers, and billionaires, one big establishment club that works together to wage war on mankind all over the planet. The British Empire never died - it transformed and went offshore into tax havens, NATO, the Anglo-American Empire, and the United Nations - which are all used to keep the wars going since 1945. And King Charles approves of it all, just as his mother did. The greatest culprites are the monarchies.

The government would be delighted. I've never been a 9/11 Truther, but 9/11 was a boon for The National Security State

So Palistine Action is proscribed so what. Start afresh with BAGI - British Against Genocidal Israel! Or other permutations. There would be difficulties proscribeing an Organisation against Genocide.

The ban is a recognition of how effective Palestine Action have been. My understanding is that the ban only labels terrorist acts those which are carried out in the name of Palestine Action. It does not entail that direct action in the name of any other organisation or as an individual will be prosecuted as terrorism.

Do what the rulers do

When pinched for a crime

Rebrand the language

Conducting business as usual

The obvious is so blatantly clear

Protest under any name

We decide to call it

The intentions will always

Be known to the faithful

Eventually they’ll catch up

Create a newer law

Rinse and repeat

Rebranding them into oblivion

Have one of the faithful write a novel…

Quickly…about a land that is as historically as accurate as the unjustly treated Palestine. Then we all create a phantasy world around the novel.

A real time Rocky Horror Picture Show

But out in the streets everyday

In front of their batons

Making our joyful noise

Let freedom reign

They can’t create a law to stop our love for a fictional place!

This is going to lead to them prosecuting those protesting the 15 minute cities and destroying the ULEZ cameras

In a self-respecting society, what would now happen is bloody retribution. What would now happen is hundreds of thousands of dead police, and the corpses of Zionist and pro-corporate legislators piled high in the killing fields of righteous revolution. But since we're discussing a gutless, racist, western European cesspool, nothing will happen.
