The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.

    MPs had voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to proscribe the direct action group, alongside the neo-Nazi Maniacs Murder Cult and the Russian Imperial Movement.

    Has anyone affiliated with the other two groups been arrested since this went into effect?

      This is a good question, apparently they’d rather lock up 83 year old women than violent facists and warmongers

          Honestly, you have way more stuff going that need to apologize for.

          Maybe look up Palestine Action before commenting:

          In June 2025, the Home Office announced that it intended to designate the group as a proscribed terrorist organisation after the group broke into RAF Brize Norton, vandalising and damaging two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes by spraying paint into their engines.

            Funny, I wasn’t aware vandalism is a synonym to terrorism.
