As I understand it, when they proscribed Palestine Action it was on the back of evidence of coordinated attempts to organise trespass and cause damage.
Everyone who supported them by so much as holding a paper became arrestable for terrorism.
Are they going to do the same for "Patriot Platform"?

@sturdyalex.bsky.social I made the unhappy acquaintance of the Daily T podcast earlier today. Is it just my imagination, or are Tim Stanley and Camilla Tominey determined to rewrite the history of January 6th? They seem to think Trump had little or nothing to do with the attack on the Capitol 🤦🏻♂️
