High Court ruling against Palestine Action terror ban will convince far-left activists they can ‘hold UK to ransom’, warns ex anti-extremism tsar

Outrageous. We can but hope a future Reform UK government will reverse the politicisation of the judiciary. An extract:

“Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp MP also backed Ms Mahmood’s appeal and accused Palestine Action of being bent on ‘intimidation, destruction, and violence’. 

He said: ‘Palestine Action repeatedly invades secure sites, sabotages military aircraft, attacks police officers and causes millions in criminal damage. It is organised political violence and cannot be tolerated.’

While the judges found that the decision should be quashed, they warned that the group remains banned pending Ms Mahmood’s appeal. 

However, this distinction appears to have been lost on the Met Police, which said it would now stop arresting activists who express support for Palestine Action and merely ‘gather evidence’ against them instead.”
