The LRB had a good article on this www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
Domestic judges cannot undo the case law of the Strasbourg court that so irritates a section of the political class and its journalist outriders. But they are doing everything short of that to make human rights as much of a domestic legal irrelevance as possible

"Our colonisation must either stop or continue against the will of the native population. And therefore, it can continue and develop only under the protection of a force that does not depend on the local population - an iron wall that the local population is unable to break through."
What is the Balfour Declaration for? What is the [British] Mandate for? Their meaning for us is that an external force has taken upon itself the obligation to create in the country such conditions of government and protection, under which the local population, irrespective of its wishes, would be deprived of the opportunity to interfere with our colonisation administratively or physically. And all of us, all without exception, urge every day this external force to fulfil this role firmly and uncompromisingly. In this

Home secretary 'disappointed' by ruling, plans to appeal

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood said she was 'disappointed' by the ruling and that she plans to appeal it.

In a statement, she said:

■■ I am disappointed by the court's decision and disagree with the notion that banning this terrorist organisation is disproportionate.

"The proscription of Palestine Action followed a rigorous and evidence-based decision-making process, endorsed by parliament. The proscription does not prevent peaceful protest in support of the Palestinian cause, another point on which the court agrees.

“As a former lord chancellor, I have the deepest respect for our judiciary. Home secretaries must however retain the ability to take action to protect our national security and keep the public safe. I intend to fight this judgment in the court of appeal."
