Pro-Palestine protesters, who sprayed red paint and broke some windows, are about to be sentenced as *terrorists*. Neither they nor the jurors were told of this possibility during their trial for criminal damage. So they were unable to defend themselves against this far more serious charge.

In April, the Starmer government passed an Act of Parliament enabling the police to shut down any protest they deem to have a “cumulative” impact on the community. The only protests that have ever succeeded are those with a cumulative impact. Effective protest is now illegal.
