Exclusive: Baroness Chakrabarti said the latest arrest demonstrates the dangers of the ongoing proscription of Palestine Action, which is being challenged in the courts
Hmm… Yeah, I wonder. It’s not like there’s been protests across the country or anything. Hundreds of arrests at multiple different events up and down the country. Legal challenges at court. Opposition parties ridiculing the government. A new direct action group formed named after the Home Secretary.
It’s not like just 2 weeks ago the Metropolitan Police arrested the most people in a single day in over 10 years.
It’s not like there’s another mass protest planned for the 6th September.
Whatever shall we do…
The British population are mobilising, the American population is largely sitting on its laurels.
The American population is by and large not resisting fascism.
I don’t, obviously, mean there’s been no resistance or that there’s nobody deserving of solidarity. There have been protests and there are people resisting. But in general, the pushback has been minimal. Trump and co are generally getting away with whatever outrageous thing they do each week.
So to then see comments trying to call out our lack of action, when there has been quite substantial action here, deserves a response. Our government are at the point where there’s murmurings of its collapse and a new left wing party is forming with record membership. And Westminster has only committed a handful of heinous acts in comparison with Trump/Republicans committing heinous acts every day.
So I take on and get what you’re saying, but perhaps try telling it to EvilEdgelord too.
Can’t wait to hear from the Brits saying “wHy DoN’t YoU jUsT fIgHt BaCk?” to Americans.
It’s on your doorstep now. What will you do?

Yes and no.

You need to go farther than protesting. We all do.
