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.

Oh ok. The Mail now shouting at us that Trump is considering various vengeful snubs to our govt, as well as helping Farage in his bid to be prime minister.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
