Prosecuting artists like @KNEECAPCEOL because of their political views on #Palestine is a ridiculous waste of taxpayers' money but certainly gives a clear sense of UK government priorities.
We massively appreciate the support of what we know are the majority of the public, who can see this farce for what it is.

We know all of our supporters will be, but please go out of your way to be compliant with all instructions issued, irrespective of how pitiful.

Full statement attached.
