All the UK people talking shit about what Americans should be doing don't have a leg to stand on while things like this are going on.
None of us have a leg to stand on, we fail to act, as if no legs are had to be found.
I'm sorry, but there have been regular protests since the proscription of Palestine Action, around the country, and large enough for the attention of national news.
And another direct action group has formed and already got to work.
Apart from No Kings, a one day event more akin to a parade than a protest. And some unrest in LA that never amounted to anything. What has America been doing against their rise of fascism? Fuck all.
Not to mention our population is unarmed, protesting in the knowledge they are risking 14 years in prison, and doing so on behalf of people on the other side of the planet, not for their own benefit.
The UK is making America look like a push over in comparison.
Land of the ~~Brave~~ Cowards.
Right. Getting arrested for holding up placards is so much better.
Then your government openly breaking laws. And ignoring your constitution. With zero consequences. Yes.
The only way to fight unjustified laws, between elections is to be arrested.
I presume the editors of Private Eye will also be arrested?

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
