    However, a source with knowledge of the police’s early planning for this Saturday’s event said: “If they think that by turning up with significant numbers that we can’t arrest them for breaking terrorism laws, they need to think again.

    “They will be arrested. However we have to do it, they will be arrested for breaking terrorism laws.”

    I thought our prisons were full? Early release for real criminals but plenty of space for retired teachers, priests, and magistrates?

    You have to understand, your right to speak freely and protest peacefully in your own country doesn’t outweigh Israel’s sovereign right to starve and murder civilians in a country that isn’t theirs

      Has UK regime lost its fucking minds?!

      Hardly. They’ve fully supplanted themselves to their American cousins, because they know who signs the checks. The British upper class lives and dies by the Wall Street financial system. That means leaping every time an American President blows the whistle.

      In this case, the American President is fully in the tank for the Israeli Zionists, because he sees the country as a knife at the neck of every other Middle Eastern satrap. And the Brits, who are still mortified over the Suez Crisis, have never passed on a chance to humiliate and desecrate an Arab nation in spitting distance of that critical trade route. So of course they want to tamp down any domestic opposition to ruthless imperial control of the region.

      The rabble don’t understand how much of the modern British state relies on occupation and rent-extraction in order to keep the western oligarchy fat and happy.
