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]

Hey, if it was the US, due would be chewing on concrete with 3 or 4 'roided up cops yelling: "stop resisting!" while kneeling in his neck. I'm not saying the fascism shown here is cute but at least it isn't so comically over-the-top as it is on this side of the pond.

Yes it’s a less aggressive form but it’s far more insidious because people are less likely to resist it.
