An order is due to be laid before parliament on Monday which would proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation, making being a member of – or inviting support for – Palestine Action a criminal offence carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail.

The potential proscription of Palestine Action is an explicit use of terrorism designation as a mode of societal control by threatening supporters with terrorism offences.

The executive appoints the legislature and the judiciary (only for 5 years). Unchecked emergency powers. Selective/ ambiguous religious 'jurisprudence' (not principles or established rules) is the principal source of legislation. A new one-man-rule totalitarian political project in the making.
