    Good thing we caught all those dangerous terrorists before they could do anything evil!

    Imagine if all those 474 extremist insurgents hadn’t attended a public protest, we might never have caught them. Who knows what dastardly deeds they could have wrought from deep within our own society in the shadows.

    They could be your colleague, your postman, your neighbour, your cousin, or even your own wife! Trust no-one!

    We must remain vigilant against this evil menace and be grateful the police anti terror squad is watching us at all times, just in case one of us should turn 🫡💂‍♀️🇬🇧

      your neighbour, your cousin, or even your own wife!

      Don’t forget your nan or granddad!

      Protesters whose details could be confirmed at temporary prisoner processing points nearby were bailed with conditions to return to a police station at a future date and to not attend any further protests in support of Palestine Action. People who refused to give their details or whose identities could not be verified were taken into custody.

      most of these people were home the next day, no one actually arrests that many people, can you imagine the paper work

      Had they not been arrested, they could have assisted genocide, committing war crimes every week or killing civilians, aid workers and reporters by the dozens. Only the worst terrorists could allow such things to happen.

      Oh, wait…

        Did some quick reading on this. A few articles linked back to Belgian news site 7sur7, so I’m referencing that article here:

        • The group who did this was Stop Arming Israel, not Palestine Action.
        • They targeted OIP Land Systems because they’re a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, who are a major manufacturer of weapons sold to Israel.
        • OIP used to sell military vehicles to Israel, but haven’t for a couple of decades.
        • The result was a one-month delay in delivering the vehicle shipment to Ukraine.
        • The CEO described the activists as “sympathisants du Hamas”, which personally makes me mistrust anything else he says.

        I don’t mean to condone the damage they did - Ukraine needs all it can get - but it would be easy to read your message and think they’d deliberately taken action to hurt the Ukraine defence effort by raiding a company unconnected with Israel’s genocide.
