Palestine Action protesters arrested in Cardiff released on bail

£7million, show me the quote, think of a number and double it...

Complete waste of police time. They have far more urgent and important work yo do. This is not one of them. The weak government should never have pandered to the zionists and proscribed this group.

Meanwhile IDF bomb and shoot civilians trying to get food. Contractors alleged to have shot at people trying to get food. Hold up a sign, grrrrrr...

So much for policing with consent! The Police are an arm of the state used to silence protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. The Police are being turned against their own citizens. A shameful situation. Proscription was disproportionate to the threat posed and non violent protectors are not terrorists.

The terorist are the police and UK government, who act against us in this disgusting manner.Tge right to protest without violence is a huge importance. The way they chucked out the word terror dilutes its meaning. We pay their wages, they serve us

I never thought I'd see a UK Labour government introducing tyrannical legislation like the draconian law against Palestine Action. There is no doubt that Hamas has engaged in terrorist activity that I certainly condemn. However, the government and military of Israel match, if not surpass, Hamas as terrorists. Palestine has every bit as much right as Israel to have a state of their own.

No government is going to overlook - indeed it can't ever overlook! - the sort of activity which 'Palestine Action' activists undertook at the RAF establishment at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Nor should it. And the offence now strikes me as all the greater because I read that the activists didn't just spray the aircrafts' exterior with paint, but jetted it into the engines too. Presumably the consequences of that action will be seriously more costly to remedy, and the sentence imposed by the courts should clearly take account of that. But even so, Palestine Action seems to me to be essentially no more a truly 'terrorist' faction than were some other such protest groups which I remember from past years: the likes of CND, the 'Committee of 100' and the 'Greenham Common Women', all of whom from time to time committed acts of criminal damage in pursuit of their cause and their campaigns. It seems to me that even when, as in this case, criminality is unambiguously involved, protest remains one thing and terrorism quite another. Can this government seriously and credibly argue that what Palestine Action has done has equivalence with the wholly real terror attacks of, say, al Qaeda and their supporters, or of the Provisional IRA? I don't see it. Starmerite Labour sometimes exhibits an edgy totalitarian tendency. I find that at the least uncomfortable, and possibly even a tad sinister.

Balls! Even if you were to disagree with them, offences such as aggravated trespass, burglary and criminal damage are more than ample to cover the scale of this so-called threat. There again, I suspect that you might struggle to find a jury which was prepared to convict? Free Palestine!

Isn't it weird how supporting Palestine Action makes you a terrorist, but openly fantasising about waging nuclear terrorism against festival attendees is simply being Rod Liddle? So free speech means you can be a treasonous rodent threatening mass murder, but you mustn't dare speak out against an ongoing genocide in another country.
