George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Meanwhile, not one of the groups so far known to have been orchestrating the violence in Belfast and Southampton has been banned as a terrorist organisation. 121164342
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 15/06/2026And don't imagine for one moment that it's going to stop here. The pressure for expanding the definition of terrorist to anyone protesting against the Israeli government's genocide is already rising. bsky.app/profile/netp...Netpol@netpol.orgLord Walnuts is now demanding "People Against Genocide" are banned. 60% of the population oppose genocide, while over half support ending arms sales to Israel 17486154
Rorza8472 @rorza8472.bsky.social · 15/06/2026It’s fascism, George, the word you are looking for, is Fascism. 042
Ian Wilson @charfield-blue.bsky.social · 15/06/2026That we’ve got to this point under a Labour government is mind blowing. Where will this be taken should Reform take up the baton. 040
SeeSure @seesure.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Eventually it will be any form of protest that annoys anyone with wealth. 060
God-Emperor Tsunami 💙 #FBPE #BLM #GTTO @tsunami65.bsky.social · 15/06/2026That will only be the start, eventually they will want to classify anyone peacefully protesting against the government as "terrorists". Draconian indeed. 030
sel-bsky-social.bsky.social @sel-bsky-social.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Remember they put those JSO people in prison basically any non fascist group is fair game 020
Raimo Kangasniemi @rk70534.bsky.social · 15/06/2026And it won't end with those opposing genocide by Israel. It's always a slippery slope. This will likely be followed by declaring 'terrorists' those who take direct action or support direct action to protect the environment or animals etc. Save beagles from animal testing? 'Terrorist!' 19312

Claire #FBPE ☘️ 🍉 🇺🇦 🇪🇺🐝 🦮🇮🇪🇧🇪 💙💚 @fbpech.bsky.social · 15/06/2026This country is unrecognisable. I often have to read something 2 or 3 times because I can’t believe what I’m reading. Was that money from LFI worth it? I suppose everyone has their price- I naively thought that Labour was better than this. 3295
Weapon of Sass Destruction @katehc78.bsky.social · 15/06/2026What the actual fuck is wrong with this country? I mean, that's obviously a rhetorical question, we *know* what's wrong with it. Question is, can we do anything about it before it's too late? 150
mlefsky.bsky.social @mlefsky.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I would have thought that the country that gave us Orwell would have been more sensitive to "Protest=Terrorism" 150
The Failed Anarchist Revival @failedanarchist.bsky.social · 15/06/2026... and then add a Farage-led government and we're truly forked 041

He holds a number of paid positions as an adviser for lobbying and consultancy companies.[50] He is paid chair of the Purpose Defence Coalition, members of which include arms manufacturer Leonardo, which has "extensive links" to Israel’s military.[51] He is paid chair of the Purpose Business Coalition, members of which include Leonardo and oil company BP. He is a paid senior adviser to Rud Pedersen, a lobbying company with expertise in security and defence, which has oil and gas companies Glencore and Enwell Energy as clients.[52] The groups Good Law Project and Compassion in Politics made an official complaint to the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards, stating that Woodcock "has a commercial interest in organisations whose clients have been targeted by the very protesters whose activities he seeks to ban".[52] Plan B and Palestine Action also questioned Woodcock's independence.[51] Walney announced the complaint had been dismissed[53](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cbw6o2dj4iy2wyxklht2mteo/bafkreicy25u4yltptdr2m7aqosbzt4h65aq54w5dlnjtzxci5f23n37ipu)
