    It is now illegal to support people who are _accused_ of committing a crime.

    The deliberate “bolding” of certain words and the fading of others is clearly an attempt to both support the proscribed organisation but also give plausible deniability if this is used as a reason for her arrest.

    Although ultimately it changes nothing.

  3. I guess the question is.. if you swap Palestine action for *Insert middle eastern terrorist group* is it still illegal?

    If yes, no issues imo.

    If no, then something is awry.

    The actions of Palestine action are undeniably terrorist in nature, and they are a proscribed group so it ticks all those boxes.

    The question is how we deal with people that support those groups and if it’s being fairly applied across the board.

    (To be clear I don’t think what’s happening here is wrong, and it’s very easy to oppose what’s happening/support Palestine without supporting Palestine action)

  4. PA being proscribed is a joke. The PIRA, the other Republican groups, the loyalist paramilitaries are all examples of actual proscribed groups.

    PA is nowhere near the same level. This country is a joke lol

    So she isn’t protesting about Palestine any more, she is protesting about a UK protest group.

    I’m sure Mossad are very happy with this result.

  6. “A Swedish tourist visiting the UK on a visa was arrested for voicing support for a proscribed terrorist organisation”

    This is what this boils down to, she is not above the law and it’s long overdue she be made aware of this just like every other influencer which is what she technically is by this point

  7. Just a reminder that Thunberg is supporting a proscribed organization [whose members think it’s okay to raid the warehouses of an Israeli defense contractor and strike a serving police officer in the back](https://news.sky.com/story/bodycam-footage-of-alleged-sledgehammer-attack-on-police-shown-at-trial-of-palestine-action-activists-13474923) with a sledgehammer while they were stopping the raid and carrying out arrests.

    Not really helping your climate activism brand, are you Greta?

    She should have held up a sign that says, “I support genocide. I support killing babies”. That’s completely legal.
