A non-violent protest group launches a campaign of protest and criminal damage against a UK based Israeli weapons manufacturer. Said manufacturer posts annual ? losses as a result.

UK based Israeli weapons manufacturer intensely lobbies UK government to have the non-violent protest group proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

General Lord Richard Dannatt (ex-head of the British army) unashamedly and persistently lobbies the UK government for the same reason on behalf of a US weapons manufacturer.

Non-violent protest group proscribed as terrorists despite hundreds of lawyers and solicitors signing open letters advising against it. UK Home Office now touts vague and unsubstantiated " evidence " of violence as the reason (interestingly, this " evidence " wasn't presented when the government petitioned the courts to have the protest group proscribed).

Pensioners, blind, disabled people are arrested and charged under the terrorism act when they peacefully protest. A decorated ex-army officer also arrested. Many more more people are arrested in the peaceful protest than were arrested in the extremely violent poll tax riots of the 90s.

This is all inextricably linked to the insane level of carnage in Gaza.

Dark powers are at work. The blatant disregard of international law and human rights in the pursuit of the $ should make us all very worried. Our government are up to their necks in it, but don't give a sh;;t

People need to wake up and smell the coffee.
There are crimes allegedly committed by Palestine Action yet to be made public due to sensitive security protocol so they may well be more to Palestine Action than many of us know .

I don't think those arrested on Saturday at the demo are terrorists but they may well be people in Palestine Action who may well be and supporting a terrorist group is a crime .

Breaking in to a British Military Base is an act of terrorism , surely you can understand why it would be considered so , add the 7 million pounds of damage they caused then you are clearly looking at a custodial sentence .

I'm no Labour fanboy these days by any means but the government did go to great lengths to tell people they would face arrest for supporting Palestine Action , the government couldn't have been any clearer .

Sorry it's come as a bit of a shock for elderly people , ex magistrates , doctors or anybody else who thinks their standing in life gives them some kind of reprieve .

Anti Terrorism legislation doesn't have boxes marked except for those who feel entitled enough to break the law .
