Over 200 people have been arrested central London on Saturday at a mass demonstration opposing the UK government’s proscription of the direct action group Palestine Action.
Some 500 protesters set up camping chairs at the foot of the steps of Trafalgar Square, displaying handmade cardboard signs reading: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”
The demonstrators were met with a heavy police presence, with vans lining the square hours before the vigil began.
The UK is a terrible place to live. The government cares more about monitoring and censoring citizens instead of improving their lives.

Good thing they have the resources for this while there’s a cost of living crisis.
