UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide
-
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.
Feckless cowards.

Just wondering, if I would hold up a sign with 'go isreal, continue the amazing work you do!', would that get me arrested? Surely i'd get beat up but i mean what would the lawmakers think of that? Would it be different if the sign would say 'go isreal, murder those innocent families' or 'go isreal, your genocide rules!' (am i allowed to call it a genocide if i'm not against it?)
make is sarcastic, the British way.
go on the telly, then show them a mirror to themselves. talk how excited you are for how many humanitarian volunteers are being slaughtered, how clever is it to stave children so they can take their land....

@theacharnian So now the Jews own the USA, UK, and Germany, who else?
then why are Jewish voices some of the loudest anti Israel voices?
you racist cunt

Feckless cowards.
Genocide accomplices!
Everyone involved with this "law" should be tried and hung in the Hague for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.

What really happened here: Members of this Palestine Action group sneaked onto a military base and attacked the aircrafts there. This act of politically motivated vandalism resulted in this group being officially banned by the government. Which is totally ok, no state in the world will and can tolerate some group doing acts of terrorism and/or doing sabotage.
Supporting banned terrorist organizations is of course also not allowed (which really makes sense) and yeah, this priest totally did that on purpose. You are therefore totally fine holding up a sign supporting Israel and you are also totally fine holding up a sign supporting Palestine, but you are not fine holding up signs supporting banned organizations.
Thanks for providing proper context.
Before they decided to break into a British military base and sabotage planes their status might have been debatable.

Does Israel have dirt on all these people? Its wild how everyone just supports genocide so willingly.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Every western government is scared of opposing Israel since WW2. It's absurd.

Or you you could just, you know.. protest against Israel and pro Palestinians without explicitly showing your allegiance to terrorist organizations such as Hamas.

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?
Were there people holding up signs for these in public places?
-
Yes, that is vandalism by definition.
"Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.[1]
The term includes property damage, such as graffiti and defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner."Apparently they sabotaged the engines:
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.
By committing that act they’ve successfully played themselves.

But how would I telegraph my desire to murder the Jews if I did that?

Now I understand more closely Starmer's subservience to America's Donald Trump.

I saved your post about saving a post because it makes me less depressed and more warm and fuzzy inside. You are a good person and you clearly care
wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh, thank you so much. I wish I let myself believe that I am what you just described. You do seem to fit the description you assigned me very well from this very brief interaction.
Let us all keep spreading warm and fuzzy feels on and on to as many people as we can.
The world certainly needs an antidote to spread against the vile current that is dragging us all into a hole of despair.
We can't let that happen!
Unfortunately, I often do let myself go in that direction.
So thank you for pulling me the other way.

So you assume by default that there's either an explicit or implicit support for Hamas by protesting against Israel?

Sorry for using difficult words. Make simple for you now:
- protest against Israel: Ok
- protest for Palestinians: Good
- support Hamas: very bad
Understood or brain still hurt?

How explain word “like” simple? Difficult but I try - for you.
- Orange like grapefruit - both fruit
- Toyota like Ford - both car
- Hamas like “Palestine Action” - both terrorist
If still difficult:
- grapefruit more sour than orange - still both fruit
- Toyota better than Ford - both still car
- Hamas way way worse than “Palestine Action” - still both terrorist
