    I am once again condemning the UK for building a surveillance state beyond what Orwell could truly envision.

      Yeah things are really looking bleak over there. That plus their recent attacks on free speech (you can get arrested for supporting “Palestinian action”) paint a very dystopian picture for the future of the UK

        Did you ever bother to look into why Palestine Action was singled out? How one of their members assaulted someone with a hammer or something?

        You can support Palestine without supporting that group, lol.

            Would you say the same if one member of a group was a Nazi? No, you’d rightly assume they’re all nazis.

              Nice ASSumption. Actually, yeah, I’d say exactly the same. Human rights are human rights. Fortunately, it isn’t up to people like you to decide who gets them

                Guy who wants to not ban groups that assault people doesn’t want people to have the right to decide and vote on human rights. The irony.

                    Oh, you’re an American. I don’t know why anyone bothers.

                    We vote for them by voting for the parties propose legislative changes.

                    See the Human Rights Act.

                    Edit: And just for the record I 100% support Palestine. I don’t support Palestine Action.
