BBC: “As demonstrators held up placards reading, “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”, some 522 of them were arrested on suspicion of breaking terrorism laws - more than double the total such arrests in 2024.
Their average age was 54, said the police. Some 112 of them were over 70 years old.”
It’s bloody ridiculous. Like me getting arrested for demanding Maggie (Thatcher) out of Parliament back in my CND days. Didn’t happen, but imagine the chilling effect on the wider populace if this existed then.
