The Terrorism Act was introduced in 2000.
Imagine it was suggested then that its biggest use by far in any year would be against peaceful members of the public holding placards opposing genocide.
That person would be accused of deranged scaremongering.
And yet here we are.
🚨 BREAKING | 1,339 people have now been arrested on "terrorism" charges in 2025, with almost all of them busted for holding signs at pro-Palestine protests.
This is more than any year on record, by far.
