Another Case

The British government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group on 5 July 2025 under the UK's Terrorism Act 2000 after members of the network vandalised RAF aircraft at Brize Norton.[12] Since then, British police have arrested 744 individuals for showing support to Palestine Action, many of these resulting from a sit-in on Parliament Square on 9 August 2025.[13][14] Civil liberties groups have criticised the ban as "conflating protest with terrorism."[15]

I thought maybe ’plasticine’ was a reference to plastic explosives, but one web search and hey! I’m less ignorant than I was 2 minutes ago!

Made me think of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Picture yourself on a train in a station

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

(Definitely not about LSD, guys, really! Lol)
