The UK has so comically fumbled this that I’m starting to wonder if Palestine Action, despite having acted almost as recklessly, might wind up coming out ahead.

How much time and money has this ban wasted? Policemen out arresting harmless old ladies with placards like they've nothing better to do.

I don't get this. You're allowed to protest about Palestine all you want, why do you have to associate that with a group who who broke a policewoman's back with a sledgehammer?
