the group broke into RAF Brize Norton, vandalizing and damaging two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes by spraying paint into their engines

Doing extremistic things and being surprised to be classified as extremists... Ahm... Alright...

will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action"

Just say "I support Palestine" instead. Problem solved.... Saves oxygen and could have prevented the Lemmy post.

This is actually a big deal. They've been proscribed as terrorists in the same way as ISIS, Hezbollah, Atomwaffen etc.
They are a direct action protest group, and they are criminals (at least the members that vandalised property) but they aren't terrorists. And now, under UK law, expressing support for them is an offence. This is a huge misuse of terrorism legislation. 27 people were arrested yesterday for recording their support for Palestine Action.
