A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

The High Court has confirmed what we all knew: proscribing Palestine Action was unlawful.
The state must stop using “counter-terror” powers to criminalise solidarity and intimidate working-class people out of protest.
The Labour government must lift the proscription now and drop every case NOW.

The Cottesmore Hunt terriermen were caught digging into a badger sett by Northants Sabs yesterday.
The terrier was already in the sett, and terrified of being identified, terriermen instead abandoned the terrier deep in one of the chambers, and legged-it from the cameras. ⬇️
