2nd reading of the Terrorism Bill, 14 December 1999. Home Sec Jack Straw responds to an MP asking if supporting international protests involve property damage would be counted as supporting terrorism: "Not even remotely".
This is the legislation being used to proscribe Palestine Action.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.
