A pig in any other county, is still a fucking pig.
MindyMsMonday40
Imagine living in a place where you get arrested for sitting in the grass with a sign.
BARP
I hope and pray that each and every one of those fucking pigs get what they deserve.
InnerBushman
I see. Because some people associated with a group have committed crime by destroying property, every member of that group is now considered a criminal. Funny how that works cause I don't see every multi-millionaire and billionaire being arrested when some of them keep committing crime over and over again. Let's arrest all the school students because some of them are shoplifters!

I’m so proud of this woman. Makes me emotional, but I am a bleeding heart softy.

So what happens if someone sits with a sign that says "kill all palestinians"
HolyFreakingToast
does palestine have the right to exist?
Thojira
hate that people are clapping, but like that it's only a few ...
Myothercarisadelorean
They are just there to protect her, right?
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
Police is always on the wrong side
bourbonandbaddecisions
So the UK govt is pro genocide?
horseman05
I and all my buddies are laying in the pasture to support you. Free Palestine.
Sh1tMovieGroup
That's roughly twenty more police officers than would give a shit if she went in to report a rape or stalker..
ChickenSnizort
The first 3 words on her sign are benign. Here support of Palestine Action, which is a listed terrorist group, is what got her arrested. She seems to be too young to have experienced 'the troubles' first hand. UK anti terrorism laws are no joke.
Atlasraven
Oh no, an "I oppose genocide" activist. /s
ButtscratchMcPherson
Note: **** Israel. Also **** Palestine Action. Palestine Action are a bunch of Kremlin controlled stooges who have made several terrorist attacks against arms going to Ukraine.
GlenL
Listen, the UK doesn't want to set precedent that showing up to a sovereign nation, killing everyone who lives there and claiming the land as their own is a bad thing
thornedrose27
Shameful. And the police should know that peaceful protest is NOT illegal. And who the fuck is clapping? Israeli shit?
moodytravesty
But they did it because they were instructed that the law said they had to, and they did it fairly nicely.
annoyingpeoplewithmyheathencomments
ya totally we're fascist assholes stripping you of your rights, but we do it in a nice way
moodytravesty
Police just enforce the existing laws. If the law is fascist then fix the law or those who passed it. Or do you prefer police who only enforce some laws they like and not others?
seenunseen
Fuck government oppression
Garwoodxx
So now that the UK government found a spine, will the charges be dropped against all who peacefully protested and will there be an apology from the Crown?
b00sk0r
There's a lot of people that would like to think these charges will be dropped.
But I'm pretty sure they won't be >:U
AgamemnonsMemes
I would like to point out that the UK has stopped imports from israeli SETTLEMENTS, not Israel. While this is good, its literally the least they could do, and is basically meaningless, because the settlements are mostly civilian houses
ButtscratchMcPherson
Note: Palestine Action is a Russian backed terrorist group. They're what the Kremlin calls "useful idiots" and they've been used to commit arson attacks against several defense firms producing arms for Ukraine, as well as air transports used to deliver material to staging sites in Poland.
HoneNathan
The UK government found a spine? How so?
KingORedLions
Of course not, and those given 4 year prison sentences for terrorism, despite not being convicted of a terrorism offence, will of course remain in prison because fuck you, British Public.
Indulgence
They didnt find a spine, they pretended they did
funone77
Apology from royalty that cant be bothered to wipe their own ass?

Just checking, but 'the Crown' refers to the legal system of the UK, not the royal family.

CarlBassett
Yes it did. The government may have changed prime minister but it is still the same government that was elected in 2024. They classed Palestine Action as a terrorist group in 2025 which is what they are arresting this woman for.
Sebastopol140
Fuck them! Thank you young lady, you're awesome.

TheMoonBnuuy
arresting her on terrorism charges for peacefully having a sign
boxbackknitties
You’ve described oppression quite well.
Maraxus
Well, she was arrested for not being supportive of Israel and their crimes against humanity. But because technically this is legal and arresting her for it is not, this would cause a lot of lawyers to blahblah and then the Government would have to sent their lawyers to court to blahblah, and this would be way to much work, so they just let the Police officers blahblah something that courts already pretended is legal, so they don't get bothered as much.
Maraxus
But yeah, ultimately, she was arrested, because people who use violence decided to do it and laws are meaningless, if the people who use violence decide so.
Sh1tMovieGroup
This could have real implications down the line - when I applied to for a visa for another country they're details about being ever charged for a crime or connections to a terrorist organisation, this could legitimately prevent her from working abroad or emigrating.
For doing the right thing, peacefully, I'm glad I left that shit'ole
ChickenSnizort
You can 'do the right thing' without endorsing a proscribed (banned) organisation.
TheMoonBnuuy
you can, but you can't do it without having the police become suspicious of you being affiliated with one
ChickenSnizort
Its a game. She looks like a victim for sitting peacefully behind a few words on a sign. The police are obligated to enforce the letter of the law.
TheMoonBnuuy
The only one playing any games here is you. If you want to accuse her of something, accuse her of it, and bring proof, otherwise you can fuck off with that jobsworth nonsense.
KingORedLions
They're not being convicted of terrorism offences (because they obviously can't, they haven't done anything), but they are often getting sentenced as if they were convicted anyway - it's an incredibly fucked up situation.
demosteness
She’s not protesting for Palestine, she’s supporting Palestine Action, a UK organization that the UK itself considers a terrorist organization. Just saying to be precise on the current events. Free Palestine. Fuck Israel and those who support and fund them.
ButtscratchMcPherson
It should be noted that while Israel is a terrorist state, Palestinian Action is a Kremlin controlled group of idiots that have made several sabotage/arson attacks against companies building military gear for Ukraine.
MarcUK
If she had not put "palestine action" on her placard, she probably would have been fine even when arrested. Not a crime to oppose genocide.
Pelican3
Well if you are going to bother with the whole monarchy thing , then this is the time for a king to be a King.
CapitalistWarpig
U.S. Cops would have booted her in the face, maced her, and maybe killed her depending on their feelings at the moment. So this is kinda nice in a shitty way.
UraniumNight
She's too white for them to kill her. You think the US cops would kill a pretty white lady like her? Hell no. They'd just rape her in custody.
opus68
ILDL
The bar is so low these days.
QueenOfTheFey
Yeah, like obviously it is ridiculous for 20 cops to arrest a chick just minding her business sitting with a sign as a protest, but the cops did handle it in as good a way as they could have. ACAB because if a system is corrupt inherently so are the police, but like, statistically US police killed 3 people and 30 dogs today so obviously theres a difference between the two countries
Sageypie
My first thought as well. Just, "Oh man, how.nice and calm these police are, and them actually attempting to deescalate the situation. It's still a horrifying slight against the most basic of freedoms that any sane nation should have, but how nice of them to warn her that picking her up might result in injury..."
Just....fuuuuuck. We Americans are not okay.
lemonstein
Yeah I wanted to point that out too. Ultimately the police are employees of the public but through the middlemen of elected officials who make the laws which they have to enforce. The police may even agree with her, we don’t know and in a way it also doesn’t matter. But seeing the restraint and professionalism is absolutely commendable. And I’m quick to shout ACAB. But this is what police work should look like in my opinion. Clear communication and the least amount of force necessary.
Krakencrotch
That's why the police are never your friend, whichever country you're in.
IamnotarobitIseethenumber2
I wonder if those cops know they are on the wrong side of history. If so, it must really suck to do know you're doing the wrong thing.
dogmatix
IMHO if you know you are doing the wrong thing you should... not do that thing.
Quebeker
They have to protect wealthy people property from those savage and violent protesters… /s
thomn8r
Cops are never on the right side of history
EllisTomago
For far too many cops and military members, "honor" means "obedience" and nothing more.
NothingPrince
I've trained with the English army. No it fucking doesn't
EllisTomago
The video above depicts English cops arresting a passive, harmless protester and charging her with terrorism.
IamnotarobitIseethenumber2
We've had contentious objectors in our history, We really could use more good people in positions of authority.
WebMaka
Problem is, good people tend to get screened out of certain positions of authority.
urusername2
So? Protesting peacefully is a terrorist action? And the Zionist genocide isn't?????????
ButtscratchMcPherson
Its not peaceful protesting that is a terrorist action. Palestine Action is a Russian backed terrorist group. They're what the Kremlin calls "useful idiots" and they've been used to commit arson attacks against several defense firms producing arms for Ukraine.
Grimmrog
Yes, because one is against a gouvernment and one is just done by a gouvernment. We can't lwt people rebell against gouvernments whos next? We ourselves? -sincerly your gouvernment.
Cearnaigh
If we hide that there are people against it and intimidate those who dare to show it openly then we can keep raking in money from all our arms deals and continue to pretend we didn't know.
You antisemitic terrorist, you. /s
reineseele
In Germany when we had some green activist in the public eye the establishment party said "eco-terrorism" and disruption BS and it worked ;\
urusername2
The MAGA in this country is mirrored in other countries. Uneducated, easily triggered, easily led!
reineseele
Opposite in this case. Established conservative with media manipulation from the rich stopped new party dead in its tracks. much more nuanced in this case. maga is just an end product. this was a new way for the future with more environmental view.
satanslittleposter
The issue is a bit more nuanced in the UK for this. It's still bullshit, but basically, if you are showing support to any organisation that has been deemed a terrorist organisation (yes, you see the slippery slope here) it's an arrestable offence by law. The real questions should be around why Palestine Action was even branded a terrorist organisation in the first place.
ButtscratchMcPherson
They've committed arson attacks against defense firms that produce arms for Ukraine. Palestine Action is a Kremlin backed/affiliated group.
KingORedLions
ah well you see four people threw some paint at some military equipment, so now an entire organisation and everyone who mentions it are terrorists
ButtscratchMcPherson
Except that's not all they've done. They've committed arson attacks against defense firms that produce arms for Ukraine. Palestine Action is a Kremlin backed/affiliated group.
satanslittleposter
It wasn't the only thing they did, but yeah, none of their actions should have justified being considered a terrorist organisation, not even cumulatively. The UK is doing its best to become authoritarian too... fuck my country.
urusername2
My country is giving other countries the idea that authoritarianism is good. It IS, for the Nazis!
ButtscratchMcPherson
They've committed arson attacks against defense firms supplying Ukraine. They're a Kremlin linked group. If not terrorists, they should be labeled as foreign agents.
KingORedLions
They have not committed any arson attacks, and they are not linked to Russia in any way.
