To people on this platform saying that those holding "I support Palestine Action" signs deserve to be arrested, because PA has been designated a terrorist group by the government:
Remember that lickspittles and system justifiers have enabled every form of oppression, everywhere.

Grip of the state.
The UK is less open and transparent than Colombia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ireland, Korea, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
Weak parliament, press, civil society makes democracy difficult in a secretive state, facilitates elective dictatorships.

The UK is in decline where money wields power.
Normal people toil and are just voting fodder.
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.
Must end political corruption

Funnily enough the British free speech warriors who were so determined to protect free speech on campus they made up data on cancelled events, and relentlessly and successfully lobbied the government to pass a law protecting a right already legally protected, have had *nothing* to say on this.
Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.
