You’re definitely wrong. The whole thing has descended into an appalling farce & an erosion of civil rights. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Yep, what Cooper has done is farcical and really rather pathetic… There are already laws regarding trespass and vandalism… but until we got a Human Rights Lawyer as PM, destruction of property was never judged as Terrorism!

What also greatly concerns me is that banning PA creates a v. dangerous precedent, which a future authoritarian government could use to ban all protests. Starmer/Cooper have made a catastrophic error for which we could all pay a very heavy price.

You don’t think it’s a deliberate and well thought through strategy? 🤔

There are reasonable suspicions about the pernicious Israeli influence. It makes absolutely no sense from a moral or legal perspective. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

You are probably already aware of this but it would explain a lot, sadly. www.declassifieduk.org/israel-lobby...

UN disagrees. All the actions committed by PA are more than adequately covered by existing law. “It misuses the gravity and impact of terrorism to expand it beyond those clear boundaries, to encompass further conduct that is already criminal under the law.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

That is more down to the stupidity of the police than the government.

Yes, the police are often ill-informed about the law, but the government put them in this position by this preposterous ban. The blame lies with Starmer/Cooper.

You’d expect the police to know the law.

I’m retired, but spent most of my working life dealing with the law & criminal justice system. Many police officers have a poor grasp of the law, & tbf this legislation is poorly drafted/vague & not something ordinary police officers usually deal with. Cooper has put them in a v. difficult position.

So, a half decent solicitor will see all charges dropped and the PCC will tell the respective forces that “they must do better.”

I imagine many will not be charged & v few convicted. There’s an old expression, “The law is an ass”, which fits perfectly in this case.

Or, “If you want justice, don’t go to the law.”
