Out of the loop, why is this about the UK?
As mentioned by another user it’s likely about the organization Palestine Action being designated a terrorist organization. This has caused about 700 arrests due to people protesting the designation of a group that never killed or hurt anyone as terrorists because they splashed some planes with red paint. Last time I heard an additional 60 protesters were arrested for supporting Palestine Action and officials said more arrests were likely coming.
Also for those who may have missed it: https://ukfactcheck.com/article/20/house-of-lord-member-lobbied-ministers-on-behalf-of-us-defence-firm-targeted-by-palestine-action
TL;DR: the US defence company Teledyne, whose factory was damaged by Palestine Action (“smashed windows, drilled roof panels, red paint, and smoke grenades”), paid off a corrupt member of the House of Lords to lobby the home secretary to proscribe them as terrorists, subjecting them to the same extreme anti-terror laws previously reserved for murderous groups such as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, the IRA, etc.
Possibly something about recognising or supporting Palestine?
There’s been a change where they consider that terrorism or something - look it up and don’t take my word for it though, I’m in the wrong hemisphere
Oi! Do you have memeing license for that, mate? You’re nicked!
You guys complaining about UK in front of the americans is hilarious. Have some mercy
Me over in the US watching UK do this, and wondering when its our turn.
I can’t do much except hope your government gets better. Best of luck fighting off all those “”“protecting the children”“” laws, but if you can’t (and let’s face it, who can control their government?), I’ll have a big stack of VPNs and torrent sites waiting for you if you need them.
(In victory I am merciful. Remember this, dear Briton, the next time you feel inclined to point and laugh at America for having a fascist government.)
America is better because we can complain and it won’t be the reason we go to jail.
They’ll come up with another reason.
Protesting is fine and all, but if one person out of 3,000 coughs too violently, it’s time to declare a riot and bring out the tear gas.
