After all the Gaza al Lago eg

Before ink on any paper, just on verbal agreements for the first tentative steps Trump proposing he be in charge of running things and sends in two of his property developer mates/family. Not a good sign.

A Kent police spokesperson had initially sought to justify the arrest, but the letter to Murton said: “The chief constable apologises for any distress you may have suffered as a result of this incident and confirms that any materially similar protest to that which you undertook on 14 July 2025 would not give rise to any grounds to suspect an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000.”

Shamik Dutta, of Bhatt Murphy solicitors, who represented Murton, said: “This is the first time a chief constable has been compelled to pay damages and offer an apology arising from the unlawful policing of the proscription of Palestine Action. Regrettably, Ms Murton’s experience is not unique and given the national failure of police forces to respect rights to free speech in this context, her case is unlikely to be the last.”

Good.

Given the contentiousness of the order and the number of people being arrested under it (and the probability that many will find the charges dropped before getting to court, or being found not guilty), it's odd that police forces are being so enthusiastic about arresting people over it.

I love the idea that temporarily not being bombed and wiped out is the only thing a people can wish for.
