    JTAC based their assessment largely on the Filton incident where a police officer suffered possibly life-changing injuries after a PA member attacked them repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

    The underlying basis was the definition used in the Terrorism Act, of a group that commits serious damage to property in order to influence government policy. The UK is one of the few places to have such a broad definition.

      police officer suffered possibly life-changing injuries after a PA member attacked them repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

      Of course when the video was released to the courts it showed it was the police officer doing the brutalising on the protester. Not surprising the police would lie.

      Oh gosh one person severely injured, that is horrible. I am truly sorry for their suffering as no one deserves treatment like that.

      On the other hand there have been a verifiable 172,000 Palestinian injuries with over 72,000 estimated deaths.

      The government knew full well what they were doing and anyone defending it should be ashamed to defend this abuse of human rights. There is no doubt in my mind about this because it is a verifiable pattern.

      Just like UKs support of Israel.

          As they falsely claimed. The planes they damaged had nothing at all to do with israel.

            Flying over Palestine and helping the israelis target missles at children sounds like a lot to do with israel.

                Just because you want to offload the blame for the genocide entirely on the israelis, doesn’t change the reality that the UK has been complicit every step of the way for the eradication of 1000s of Palestinians families

                  Doesn’t change the reality that the other commenter’s claim that that air base was involved was false.
