⚡️🇬🇧 NEW - In the UK, you can be arrested for attending a Zoom call.

In early September, British police arrested Patrick Friend for joining a Zoom meeting hosted by Palestine Action.

He, along with 5 others, were charged with terrorism offences - not for violence, but for attending or organizing online calls and public protests.

They face up to 14 years in prison if found guilty.

The group was banned in July after activists painted military jets involved in arming Israel. Damage? £7 million in washable paint. Response? 700+ arrests.

Well deserved … for using Zoom

Hard truth direct into your face.

Now you know why GB build new prisons.

"Just to keep the public safe!" 😉

Everyday the prison walls grow clearer, online and off. We see other countries going down the same prison planet route and wonder when freedom will rise again.

Also… how in the world does a group of pranksters get on to a 1st-world country’s military airfield and have time to deface military jets?!

Living in a police state

it is amazing to watch the english waking up to the prison they live in... there is a reason this is not happening in the us... the 2A... they will test the roll out in other countries, and eventually attempt a roll out here... if you don't understand this is a war against humanity you will be victimized... draw your line in the sand and stand firm... no other country has the 1A or 2A... be ready when they come to arrest you for naughty posts.

Keep the pressure. People still think communism is a good idea. They think a monopoly on violence run by their team will fix everything.
