She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Disappointed that this BBC news piece about Trump not wanting Mayor Sadiq Khan at the State Banquet doesn't once mention Khan's race or religion. If you leave out that Khan is a brown Muslim man, you gloss over why he's targeted by Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
