Sorry what
It was bad enough when Boris made protests illegal (did that ever go through) but this? This is disgusting.
How can Labour just do own goals day after day I do not know. At this point they’re just a continuation of the sad fucking state of Tory cabinets. From A team to B to D (was Rishi D? ) to fucking a big capital F with Starmer. I had such high hopes for them in the first week. Such lofty promises. But they’ve consistently let me down on an actual weekly basis.
It’s incredible really.
(I’ve now read the article) Ah ok it’s an actual activist group not just a blanket law applied to everyone….
Still…
Perfectly described. I am so ashamed that my vote gave us this. I did not expect greatness, just not Tory evil. How wrong I was.
The most widely celebrated circumstance in the world is being rid of the British government. It’s spawned many holidays.
Isn’t this the group that broke into a military airbase and damage several aircraft resulting in million of pounds worth of damages? I mean the security breach and the intent to maliciously damage the equipment is more than enough grounds to label the group as a terrorist group. If a right wing group or any other groups did this, everybody here would be calling them terrorists, and rightfully so. It makes sense for the UK to label this group as such, especially since they didn’t disavow the attack that happened.
The people who are trying to frame this as an attack on free speech are either full of shit and intentionally spreading misinformation or they’re ignorant enough to get their information from people who are full of shit and intentionally misinformation. This is something that clearly has nothing to do with free speech.
No, damaging property doesn’t amount to terrorism. What world do you live in?
What most people understand as terrorism is the spreading of terror in the general population. Last time I checked, no one felt terrorized because some planes got spray painted.
Yes it does. In the UK, terrorism is defined more broadly, and the actions of this groups fall firmly within their legal definitions, hence why they were so swift with this designation.
You sure seem to be right about the broader definition! But legal or not, it still seems absolutely crazy to classify this type of property damage as terrorism to me… I have a hard time to see how to justify that beyond, of course, the technicalities of the definition in the UK
Then you might have a tyrannical government. In that case, definitions should be the least of your concerns.
Or at this point, 7 hours ago.
democracy
Labour are class traitors.
So said Orwell many, many decades ago and people still vote for theae shitstains. There was some slight chance under Corbin but people want more Tory, so here we are.
Capitalism is genocidal. End capitalism!
Crazy. I thought Palestine Action was oddly capitalized. They’re a fucking group. They’re an organization- I thought they were banning supporting ending a genocide, but they’re shutting down a based and vandal-pilled activist group.
Uh, I’ve never heard of them but fuck it. I support Palestine Action. You can’t just censor people or opinions out of existence. wtf
Really? That’s kinda fucked up. How did such a law actually get passed? Who assented to this shit?
There are terrorists in the Govt duh, that’s how.
checks post, 9h
sets VPN to UK
I support Palestine Action
Death Death to the IDF!
Freedom of speech anyone?
UK doesn’t have a “First Amendment”
Tbf, the US seems to be ignoring the First Amendment as well
Look at the United Kingdom giving the United States a run for their money.
after brexit, nothing was ever the same, they fell for russian propaganda just like the US did, and us is basically going through the initial stages of “USEXIT”
USEXIT
exit from what?
Dissolution of the Union I guess
The global economy.
hah, thats SLIGHTLY more drastic than the british comparison.
Sanity
Surely there is a typo in the headline, only Russia, land of the washing machine CPUs, puts people in jail for words.
