Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.

I’ve been accused of being a conspiracy theorist because I insist that the BBC had everything to do with the rise of Farage & his Reform party.
