This column does not express support for Palestine Action – here’s why | Owen Jones
Hardly a terrorist action though is it? Breaking in to throw around some red paint.
This comment can see you arrested for expressing support of a proscribed terrorist organisation. This could have you jailed for up to 6 months and/or a fine of up to £5,000
And that fact is fucking stupid.
They absolutely did, but the problem is that what they did in order to protest was a crime. A pretty big crime too, frankly they're lucky they didn't get shot.
I have absolutely no idea how those geniuses thought that this would be a good tactic.
I fully support their objectives, and I think it's ridiculous to call them terrorists, but what they did was beyond moronic.
Their organisiation’s US leader is fond of spouting pro-Kremlin anti-Ukrainian nonsense. Maybe they were used as useful idiots by Putin.
Well, sometimes you have to commit a crime to protest an even bigger crime - warcrimes like genocide. The UK already is a surveillance police state. If they declare even protesting against genocide a crime, then so be it!
In that light, the removal of my comment appears unwarranted. For anyone curious (or whoever reported it), if I recall correctly, it expressed support for PA.
Saboteurs of the Holocaust were criminals. Nazis were following the law.
