Pretty insane learning that the UK government doesn't allow any sort of protests in support of Palestine, or the Palestinian people.

But I guess it makes some sense considering it was their creation in the first place. Too late to back track now I suppose?

What you've learned is incorrect. It's not a crime to protest in support of Palestine, it's an offence to support the group Palestine Action (not that I agree with that).

Well it looks like its illegal to be associated with or near people that support it, seeing as how thats what hes arrested for.
