Isn't that proving the point that the proscription is meaningless...
All that the UK has done is bring tons more attention and support to Palestine Action. The judiciary is not having it, they don't want to prosecute people for wearing a T-shirt.
And this is still abusing the terrorism laws to harm UK citizens
Police said they invoked Section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994, which grants police officers the authority to demand the removal of of any signs or clothing “expressing support” for a “proscribed group.”
The MPS noted that the individuals were sent to “Prisoner Processing Points in the Westminster area,” where they were released on bail, conditional upon their not participating in any protest led by Palestine Action in the future. If the authorities press charges, they may face up to 14 years in prison.
No harm?
If you think that's OK, then why do you have a problem with vandalism?
Sanctity of person over property.
