cue the regurgitation of Stuart Lee's conversation with the cab driver. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jul/05/palestine-action-activists-arrested-london-gandhi-statue Met police arrest activists holding signs referring to Palestine Action Officers arrest protesters day after direct action group banned as terrorist organisation People holding signs referencing Palestine Action have been arrested by police a day after the group was banned as a terrorist organisation. More than two dozen people gathered close to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square in London on Saturday, holding signs that appeared to express support for the group. At about 1.40pm, Metropolitan police officers began arresting people who were holding the signs. More details soon … You can clearly see the sign in the picture (I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action) and she's been nicked.
