Protester arrested over ‘Plasticine Action’ T-shirt: ‘How ridiculous is this?’
Miles Pickering says crowd at protest over Palestine Action ban was laughing at ‘silliness’ of scene as he was detained
What an idiotic law approved by a moronic government.
Who has committed more terroristic acts in its existence, Hamas, or the UK government?

Probably Hamas since the current UK government has only technically existed since the start of this parliament. Just over a year.
Or do you actually mean hurr Durr UK bad hurrr durr?
Actually given that UK intelligence planes aid Israeli airstrikes and UK planes were dropping bombs in Yemen, this is more of a tossup than one would think even if we take the words "UK government" to (incorrectly) mean the current UK government.
Some nitpicks are constructive, some are just dumb. Of course it was "hurr durr UK bad", in the same sense "do you have a flag" is bad, which is a big part of what they were talking about, and you know it. Might as well use the same argument and say that the Catholic Church isn't that bad since there's a new Pope now.
From the sandbox to the sea!
from the pleistocine to palestine, we have the plasticine era.
The year is 2025: Morph is now the unofficial face of nationwide rebellion.
Feel pretty good about this.
Bet that cop is getting the piss ripped out of him at work
LOL I would love to see Yvette continue to defend this craziness. What a moron.
I hope we start seeing Morph’s face being used as the icon of protest instead of the V for Vendetta mask. We definitely live in the more ridiculous timeline.
Edit: Turns out uk is against the organisation "palestine action", protest are held normaly. Less dystopian than I thought I guess
Just wanna say (the obvious) that this is not normal at all. I'm from greece and we have protests like every other week or so over various places
It is really wild and dystopian to arrest people for protesting for palestine, what is going on over there...?
Technically it’s nothing to do with Palestine itself, you can protest that fine.
The issue is the group Palestine action, which the gov declared a terror group because they wrecked some military planes, and we have a law forbidding the support for declared terror groups.
An overreaching dumb law applied badly as a way to overreach even further. I admit this is not much better than arresting Palestine protestors directly, it’s a pretty thin cover…
There are protests all the time, it's Palestine Action (an organisation) specifically that the government is taking issue with.
After Palestine Action damaged business known to be owned or worked in by Jewish people (not all of whom expressed support of Israel), attacked a policewoman with a sledgehammer, drove a car through the wall of a factory with workers inside, had a leader that has expressed support for Hamas/violence towards civilian jews (not even just in Israel, either, I'm talking worldwide), and broke into an RAF base and destroyed the engines of two jets, the government had them classified as a terrorist organisation.
That means that any support of PA is illegal, even if you're not involved in anything PA does. Some people think that is an overstep, or that it's so resource-intensive to enforce that it's a waste of police time.
Yes, appropriating a call to end a genocide and turning it into a protest of generated content is pretty ridiculous. Cruel, even. And complaining when your appropriated symbol is mistaken for the original is asinine.
