Crap.
If you have to protest in a way that meets the legal definition of terrorism then you have a problem & as a party you should not be allowed near any kind of public office.

More reason to vote Green. @ZackPolanski is a strong advocate of granting protesters the right to maim police officers with impunity.

Right to protest doesn't include criminal damage and GBH - but you know that.
You are just the Green Union of Fascists now, trading racism for votes.

It doesn't have any effect on your right to protest, you just have to realise that the right to protest does not come with the right to break the law or terrorise people.
Simple really.

They were proscribed terrorists, that broke the spine of a policewoman! #c4news
If you lot do not want to peacefully protest in the Uk; here comes a long gaol term.
You have no right to be violent based on some distorted politics .

Here is an idea..
Don't use sledgehammers to destroy property - vehicles to ram security guards - cause serious harm to police officers - and use masks to hide your identity ... and maybe won't have any of your rights chilled.
"This verdict will have a gigantic chilling effect on our wider rights to protest."
Siân Berry MP on the Court of Appeal upholding the proscription of Palestine Action
ALT Quote Graphic from Sian Berry that reads: “This verdict will have a gigantic chilling effect on our wider rights to protest. I voted against the proscription because I believed it was disproportionate and inappropriate, and today leaves this government as the most draconian I can think of in my lifetime. “With the rise of authoritarian administrations around the world, and a terrifying increase in far-right activity in this country, Labour ministers are taking a horrible risk with freedom in this country. Alongside, mass live facial recognition, digital ID, restriction of jury trials, and taking away trans people’s rights, they are building a toolkit for tyrants.”

My working assumption is that appeal court judges aren't stupid. I think this is a pretty good rule of thumb. It would take a lot more than a tweet from a Novara journalist to persuade me otherwise

All credit to Labour, a very smooth transition from authoritarianism to totalitarianism.

No its the police arresting someone for holding a sign supporting a terrorist organisation. Which they are deliberately holding to provoke the police into arresting them. Could just have held a sign saying "stop the genocide"

I think I recognise her. I think she's one of the 3 they always have out front to be arrested.

No soy boy. They are arresting people for supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation. Their job.

Wrong, as usual. They're arrested for showing support for a proscribed organisation, which is an offence. They can protest the pretendicide as much as they like if they do so lawfully.

Would you consider it "criminal damage" to smash a police woman's spine with a sledgehammer?

A terrorist supporter would endorse that. Except it's not just criminal damage. It's injury to police officers attacks on Jewish businesses, British companies & national security bases & it's overt political attacks are designed to cause terror & fear.

Cowardly striking a downed woman in the back with a sledgehammer and calling it a "protest" is much more despicable.
