    Oh please. Arresting pensioners for clapping is super easy compared with arresting violent criminals. It’s a great way to get your arrest stats up without breaking a sweat. And then you can blame the arrestees for forcing you to arrest them. It’s a win-win!

    So you have decided not to enforce the law for those who commit violent crimes because your officers were too busy arresting people for clapping?

      They decided to do the work they determined least likely to highlight the contradictions at the heart of the system.

        And most likely to protect the interests of capital, instead of the safety and security of the people.

    That means 200 officers taken off the capital’s streets, where they could have been tackling the crimes that matter most to Londoners.

    Don’t waste law enforcement resources dismantling civil rights then.

    Our government is a servant of a foreign power that is committing a genocide and doesn’t want to be inconvenienced while doing so.

      They’re not doing it because Israel told them to, they’re doing it because the nature of a state is to look for excuses to crush dissent.

    How self aware can you be

    In Northern Ireland, apparently expressing support for proscribed groups doesn’t usually get you arrested because it’s not worth the hassle.

    That’s a fantastic point, it’s actually based and red-pilled, so why the heck where you wasting your time arresting people for clapping? You recognize you literally have better things to do, so go do it!

      Its ironic that the US is busy flushing the Zionist turd out of its system just as it has set up camp in the UK.

        That’s absolutely not happening in America, you need better sources. We’re still strongly pro Zionist over here.

      I disagree. The rebellion dissolved the political bonds between the UK and USA primarily because the UK government can do shit like this. The first amendment prevents any organization from being “proscribed” in the USA. I would say the UK is doing worse than the USA.

    Politicians should sort this out. Apart from anything else it’s making the police look really stupid.
