George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I'm now blocking anyone stating that people protesting vs the government's ban on Palestine Action deserve to be arrested. Yeah, sure, it's an opinion and you're welcome to it. But if you can't understand what's wrong with arresting peace campaigners under the Terrorism Act, I have no time for you. 652706363
PhunkyPunk Ⓐ @phunkypunk.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Some people are so malignant and maladjusted that they can only derive pleasure in life from watching others suffering. I think we can all be certain that subtlety, nuance, integrity and reality are merely concepts in such minds. 050
jennyharker.bsky.social @jennyharker.bsky.social · 20/07/2025George et al follow this high school history/govermnent teacher. Really well informed about the context of current events and much of her commentary directly applicable to the UK she has just come over to Bluesky from Instagram- lets give the Bluesky welcome she deserves! @jayneconverse3.bsky.social 140
Graham Jones @oldmanrambling.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Thankfully I haven’t had anybody say that to me but it would be an instant block. I tend to mute normally but for these people argument is futile. 040
S.C.M @scm-author.bsky.social · 20/07/2025What a time to be alive when you get arrested for being against genocide... 2929
Mark - he/him - GAD | MDD | ADHD @unluckywanderer.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The bill that outlawed them put them alongside the Maniacs Murder Cult and the Russian Imperial Movement - as if Palestine Action, a group that graffited two planes, is as bad as two white supremacist groups, one that murdered people and knew that tried. As if people cannot see through the bull. 181
Mark Taylor @markleeds.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The criminal justice system in the UK is on its knees due to 15 years of Tory underfunding yet ex-DPP thinks it’s a great idea to clog up a breaking system with people who are simply peacefully protesting against genocide in Palestine. Simply calling out Israeli war crimes and the UKs complicity WTF 1241
Notes From Plague Island 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸💙🇨🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🇵🇸 🇲🇽 @plagueisland.com · 20/07/2025This is the world we now inhabit: red paint on military hardware is terrorism, while Israeli genocide in Gaza is standard operating procedure. Labour's decision to ban Palestine Action is far more than a simple law enforcement measure Read, share & subscribe www.plagueisland.com/p/red-paint-...plagueisland.comRed Paint is Terrorism, Enabling Genocide is PolicyRed paint on military aircraft is terrorism, while Israeli genocide is policy. Labour's ban on Palestine Action reveals a war on solidarity itself. 1166
Robert Bearne 🇦🇺🦘♋🏳️🌈♻️ @robbear1966.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I'd be interested to know what part of the Terrorism Act applies to a person protesting peacefully? Surely a decent lawyer should be able to drive a truck through it? 5244
Pervis Purves @darksatanicmills.bsky.social · 20/07/2025"Peace campaigners" is a subjective term, but the point still stands. 010
Tony Cook @myndzi.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Remember the last time a government tried to enforce a hugely unpopular measure, the so-called 'Community Charge'? news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi... 010
Spooky Hallowe'en Name @tgnprofessor.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Before long they’re going to release stats showing there’s been something like a 5000-10000% increase in terrorist incidents over the previous year and use that as an excuse for even more fascist laws. 150
Robby_red @robbyred.bsky.social · 20/07/2025They shouldn’t be proscribed as a terrorists but they are going after critical UK defence infrastructure so they have to be stopped somehow. 210
Wild Colonial Girl - Voting Green 💚 = Voting against genocide 🍉 @colonialgirl.bsky.social · 20/07/2025"Opinions are like arseholes.

Stephen Murphy @stevemur67.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The reason Gaza is in flames and its people are being annihilated is that the world never give the Palestinians the grace and space to negotiate in good faith with Israel. They have supported Israel’s veto to a meaningful political settlement. Banning Palestinian action is an extension of that. 181
Stuart Plunkett @stuartplunkett.bsky.social · 20/07/2025But you can campaign for peace, be anti genocide and pro Palestine, support a two state solution and not be arrested. Or am I now wrong and could end up in clink? 320
Biba 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇵🇸 @bibaroman.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The fact is that the biggest terrorist threat in the UK now is from the far right. Not from people protesting against children being killed when collecting food/water 0202
Blackstar☆ @blackstar1976.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I think we should just block anyone on here with centrist/rightwing takes. We've tried debating with them for decades. Its all a waste of time, intended to prevent us having effective conversations with each other about how we change the system. 020
Paul Tyreman 〓〓 @drpaulitious.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Someone put a photo on Facebook of an ex-magistrate with a local connection (I think) who got arrested. Something about the story is terrifying, and it's not the 81-year old lady in the photo. 050
George Hotchkiss @hotchkiss13.bsky.social · 21/07/2025There’s a direct link between KS stating support for Zionism without qualification and these arrests. Who KS works for is up for debate. 072
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The UK govt's claim seems to be that Palestine Action have done or plotted shit that affects UK defence, support for Ukraine etc. The reasonable response to UK gov't is, don't fucking support genocide then. Moreover support for Ukraine while enabling annihilation of Palestinians is rank hypocrisy 0111
Ensign D @ensignd.bsky.social · 20/07/2025There's no point engaging with genocide supporters. They don't see they're vile for supporting atrocities. Mute/block. 0111
Swilly 🇵🇸 @swilly13.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I support Palestine Action. I support protesting against the ban. I regret not being able to travel to the USA or the UK in the foreseeable future. #freepalestine #isupportpalestineaction 0140
AliP @alipride.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I’m just glad terrorism has finally had a decent make over. All the bombs and beheadings, that’s awful stuff. I prefer the new terrorists, those into knitting and long community service. Much less intimidating than they used to be. 1292
Nicky @haystackgirl.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Isn’t that how radicalisation begins? By turning off your eyes and ears to other voices and opinions. Perhaps a potted history of what PA are all about might help. 110
Redcaledonian @redcaledonian.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Holding up a sign can land you in prison. I thought this was the UK, not somewhere like North Korea. Perhaps everyone should protest. We all can't be arrested. 161
Aaron Spaceology 238 @aaronjd.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Starmer's government has proven to be even more authoritarian than I imagined to would be. They ignore majority preferences - nationalise water and reduce wealth inequality - in favour of the rentier / private equity class. 0111
Vim Fuego @2000manbelfast.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Incidentally in Derry yesterday there were ZERO arrests. Presumably because the police aren't that daft that they could see the consequences of doing so 1100
Ken Coello @krc1950.bsky.social · 20/07/2025I am a lifelong member of the Labour Party and I just have to get my head sorted and resign. It’s difficult but .., 5101
Nic 123987 @nicalex58.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Might be very difficult to prosecute anyone arrested who is merely standing at a demonstration with a terrorist offence. A truly offensive new ruling that Labour need to drop right now. 120
Jonathan Moy de Vitry @jamdv.bsky.social · 20/07/2025We gotta be firm. Block those dafties, George! 040
The Teasel @theteasel.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Odly enough apparently the far right can protest and the. cause violence on a hotel housing immigrants- and that is completely legal . 020
Mr. RB (UK) 💚🌹🔶🇪🇺🇺🇳🇺🇦 @chascroker.bsky.social · 20/07/2025What I want to know is why “The Labour Friends* of Israel” haven’t been proscribed on the basis that if you’re a “friend of Israel” you’re pretty much supporting genocide by default. * or is that “Fiends” 0181
Marco Jardim @marco.jard.im · 20/07/2025I've made this same mistake before: No one owes ANYONE explanations for blocking someone. It's your feed and your social experience, not anyone else's. No one is entitled to another person's attention. Free Palestine. 2273
Old man Griffin @oldhuman2.bsky.social · 20/07/2025This is the Starmer pattern throughout from the moment he was (fraudulently) elected leader of Labour. From that point members were increasingly stopped from discussing topics like the treatment of Corbyn. Dissenters were suspended and/or ejected. Logical progression! 2132
Sarah or, often, Saraaaargh! @oldwoman.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Strange how the far right can be obnoxious, with impunity, and not be arrested for being in support of National Action 080
Maz @mazjay.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Question. Are people being arrested for using Palestinian action or free Palestine etc Just trying to understand who exactly is being arrested 320
Tony @antonyillahiwarren.bsky.social · 22/07/2025The government would prefer us to support "Palestine Inaction" instead. #GazaGenocide 010
Ewarwoowar @sidestream.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Sigh. We should start with facts. Not misinformation. bsky.app/profile/geor...George Peretz KC@georgeperetzkc.bsky.socialWhich is why I think proscribing PA was right. The difficulty though is the knock-on effect of criminalising speech that “supports” PA: even ignoring some stupid but predictable over-interpretations of that by the police, there is a problem here and the legislation may well need looking at. 130
subtleleash.bsky.social @subtleleash.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Meanwhile far right hooligans were dancing on police cars and chucking bricks in an attempt to storm a hotel in Epping accommodating migrants. 1442
