"such as flags"
So wait, is there a Palestine action flag, or are they saying it's illegal to have a Palestine flag?

Direct actionists have just started calling themselves "unaffiliated" or "yvette cooper". the org also seems to have decent opsec and never had any members beyond its founders and loosely-organised cadres that did workshops in a few cities.
I imagine a few actionists will get charged if they have email or phone comms that link them to PA before the ban, but the UK courts are nothing if a bunch of sticklers for rules and will probably be lenient (as with PA pre-ban) if cases come through the system. Proscription orders cannot apply retroactively.
the risk will be to regular folk who will be harassed and arrested to break up Palestine marches, other solidarity events like fundraisers, and organisers of direct action training/workshops.
Considering the Filton 18 is already being held without trial under terrorism charges, I wonder how much difference it will make to deter or punish actionists. Because if the UK govt never needed proscription to indefinitely hold these people, what is their real goal?
I can't believe the guy who sent someone to prison for a tweet would do this smdh
Saw some reports the cops are telling people they can't even display things like "Free Palestine", shit is going downhill fast
Insane clown country
They should make another group though with a similar ideology and plan of action.
They already have and they've named it after some zionist politician lol
The UK is completely off the rails right now.
Okay do the american flag next and the nazi flag then, you won't.
Wow this is just like North Korea and China
What are we a bunch of Asians?
Let me get my calipers and I can check, one sec
Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.
as long as it isnt support for PA or displays its logo, you have every legal right to do so.
Of course anything construed as support for PA post-ban online could be used if your devices were seized, but that's a lot of resources the cops are only willing to use if they think you're an organiser or actionist. Stay safe!
In bad country
Proscribe these nuts
So like, that means a UK person can't retweet something that praises them or something like that or they'll have to pay a fine or something?
But in the anglo world they'll still be getting shared around, so a lot of UK people might do that by accident thinking it's fine, can that happen?
