Just to be clear as much as this is an abhorrent thing for them to do, it won't result in anything. The people who they have arrested have already been charged, so this changing the law doesn't have any effect on that legal decision and pretty much no one else is associated with them.
They're a very small very vocal activist group. The general feeling is that they actually did go too far on this. They are not banning protests in general just this particular organisation, which in fairness, did break into a military base so I don't know what they expect it to happen.
So you're probably safe from oppression, even if you were actually in the UK.
Vandalizing military equipment to protest against a genocide doesn't strike me as "too far".
What does the UK military have to do with a private company sending weapons to Israel? All the protesters are asking for is the weapon companies not to be allowed to send weapons from Israel from UK soil, I'm sure they would just send them from the US but at least it's a stance.
The UK military isn't doing anything in Israel so they are weird target
Prejudicial language much?
If you want to make some kind of point then absolutely make it, I'm simply providing informational context with zero political opinion. The truth is that what they did is against the law. You can disagree with the law as much as you want but the fact still remains that what they did was a crime under the law.
I do not appreciate the interpretation of some kind of Draconian and imperialist government here. That's absolutely not what is happening
