‘Enough is enough’ says chief of Police Federation as ‘exhausted’ officers arrest 493 at Palestine Action protest

1. This group is determined to flood the courts system, in the hope that they’re let off. Justice runs slowly, they will all get their time in court- and it’s not going to end well. Stupid tactic, putting vulnerable people at risk of a custodial sentence.

2. the government could put a stop to this at any time by taking the sensible step of removing Palestine Action from the proscribed group list

3. What is stupid is flagging a certain group of protesters as illegal because the paid narrative doesn’t like them

4. The Met has just admitted that in arresting the Defend Our Juries protestors, they are running out of resources to do _actual police work_, like protecting vulnerable Jewish communities after the vile antisemitic terror attack on Thursday. The correct thing to do here is to copy what Scottish Police are doing: leave them alone and get on to solve _actual crimes_.

5. 2024/25 was the horseshoe theory moment when the left and right met up and became as destructive as each other.

   It’s when the far left became as dumb and pig ignorant as the far right, the terrorist attack on Brize Norton only harmed the UK, the aircraft couldn’t have been used to help Israel but they might well be necessary if there is a need for a mass evacuation of Brits from the Middle East.

   Flagshaggers on both sides, St. George on one side, Palestine on the other.

   Yet the left can’t quite figure out why the deprived working classes are flocking to fucking Farage instead of them. Maybe it’s something to do with the left caring more about Palestine than the pain and suffering in the UK, 14 million people went hungry in the UK because of a lack of money last year. What the left is doing now would be the equivalent of Lenin wringing his cloth cap about the suffering of Tommy in the trenches instead of the Russian proletariat.

   Edit: downvote me all you like doesn’t make it less true

6. I would like to point out that the police could save a lot of manpower by using wheelbarrows.

7. What are the protests actually trying to achieve? The idea that supporting a highly specific group that no one had heard of before is more important than their supposed cause itself seems a little odd.

   I don’t remember people switching from Irish nationalism to lobbying for the legalisation of specific illegal groups, and the neo-nazis seem to just move to new organisations as they get banned whack-a-mole style.

8. I can’t fault the police for being fucking fed up with having to arrest people for engaging in their democratic right to protest, I don’t care if you hate Palestinian Action, people shouldn’t be arrested for a peaceful protest.

   Yes, the people who committed the thing that got them proscribed should absolutely be arrested, but I was always told to never tar everyone with the same brush.

9. Turns out being the enforcement tool of a comically inept government’s attempt to dabble in authoritarianism is actually hard work.

10. Yeah maybe prioritise actual criminals instead of people carrying a placard then

11. Most people in this country couldn’t give a fuck about Palestine.

12. The government should flag each person so that can never go to Canada, never go to the USA, and never go to Japan. Make any kind of international travel impossible, for life. They may not got to prison, but make it hard for all of them to explore the world.
