UK gov’t: Don’t you DARE mess with our bloody toys!
⚡️🇬🇧 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.

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?!
