CW: re: UKPol, Palestine Action, arrests
I think it's possible that the people behind proscribing Palestine Action might have underestimated the effects of how unsettling this all is for middle-class people who basically trusted "the system" before.
I wonder did they _want_ that effect for some reason, and it's going to be the excuse for something worse later on, or are they just not very clever?
An article from a while back talked about how much the police don't like it either. Some of them joined thinking that their job was to catch villains and protect "the public", and they _hated_ being sent to arrest old people who reminded them of their grandads and grandmas, for sitting around in a friendly way doing basically nothing. The disillusion was bad for morale.
I said before, I think it's "bringing the law into disrepute".

CW: UKPol, Palestine Action, arrests
Heavy-handed arrests for people who've dared to say that supporting Palestine Action is a good thing.
"She was woken by a series of bangs on her door at around 1am. ...
"Allie recalled that she had said as she was being handcuffed: โThis is a bit much for what this is, isnโt it?โ ...
"... she was held for about eight to nine hours, and released with no charge. ...
โYou go through life with a belief in the systems that are there to protect you. This is such a heinous overreach and abuse of those systems. I don't think that I'll ever be able to fully reconcile myself with it. It's like having to reconstruct a new reality,โ she said."

The Good Law Project fighting the Government for the rights of Trans Kids on Terf Island.
Imagine the backroom manoeuvres there are in the chambers of UK Law against them.
"Don't rock that boat. Don't cause a scene. Fit in or fuck off!"The quite and petty oppression of the British Isles.
I remember when the Brits were doing this to ALL Queer kids, Queer kids like me as it turned out.

RE: https://todon.eu/@regendans/117010334608214636
The Labour Government would happily destroy the Criminal Justice system in this country just to protect another nation's genocide of peoples.
The UK State will never let us 'win', they can't lose face, even if it destroys them. I've seen it in every UKGOV scandal....

"New PM Andy Burnham will be challenged on Thursday to drop the Governmentโs efforts to keep the ban on Palestine Action which has so far seen thousands arrested "
but sadly the website is giving me "429 Too Many Requests"
Just a coincidence, right?

English judges are making it up as they go along.
โAfter last monthโs verdicts the judge, Philip Parry, told the prosecution and the defence he intended to consider a โterrorist connectionโ to the offending, despite neither the jury nor the defendants having previously been informed of the possibility.โ

This kind of political weaponising of the law is the stuff of nightmares. British judges can evidently be bought too.

CW: "Survey: Masks, Protest, and Public Life" (UK)
"Survey: Masks, Protest, and Public Life
"This survey is open to all Clinically Vulnerable people, those in their families, and also people who wear masks in the UK. It asks about your experience of mask-wearing, the new protest law, and how these affect your daily life. Some questions ask about your health, or the health of a Clinically Vulnerable person in your household.
"What the new law does: From 29 June 2026, under the Crime and Policing Act 2026, police in England and Wales can designate an area around a protest for up to 24 hours (extendable to 48). Inside a designated area, wearing anything that conceals your identity โ including a face mask or respirator โ is a criminal offence, punishable by up to a month's imprisonment or a fine. There is a health provision, but it works as a defence, not an exemption: a person wearing a mask in a designated area commits the offence, and must then prove their health reason afterwards โ potentially after being stopped or arrested.
"It takes about 4 minutes to complete.
"Who is collecting this information: Clinically Vulnerable Families (CVF), registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller [ZB887575]."
I've done the survey! It genuinely didn't take very long.

Such an obvious move, just goes to show how bad at this Starmer was.
Still though, Andy is more of the same, just a bit more canny.

#Wikipedia just dodged a bullet in the UK but is still in danger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2026-07-13/Special_reportThe bullet was the possibility of Category 1 classification under the UK Online Safety Act. It was spared that classification but remains on a "watch list" of platforms that "could become Category 1 at any point in the future."
If Wikipedia is later classified as Category 1, then either (1) contributors could no longer be pseudonymous or (2) Wikipedia would be subject to severe penalties under UK law.
How severe? The maximum penalty could include a fine up to ยฃ18 million, a UK-wide denial of access, and personal criminal liability for senior managers.
