Britten was sufficiently prominent as a pacifist to be invited to join the "Committee of 100" set up to mount a campaign of civil disobedience, though he turned the invitation down. (Inter alia, as a gay man before decriminalisation, it would have been best not to antagonise the police.)

Direct action has a long history in Britain - from the DAC, the Committee for 100 & the Spies for Peace, to the Greenham Common Women - and that's only the peace campaigns. That's the history Palestine Action is part of - and it will continue no matter what the courts eventually decide.
