Laverty, who has won the Palme d’Or for his collaborations with director Ken Loach, was detained by officers in Edinburgh on Monday.

It is understood that Laverty faces a terrorism charge for wearing a T-shirt stating: “Genocide in Palestine time to take action”.

In other cases, the garment has been alleged to be in support of Palestine Action, a protest group proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the Labour Government in July.

    Unions aren’t even left-wing.

    unions represent the workers against the capitalists, thus left wing. If there are unions that do not do that, they are a scam.

    Trump has the support of one of the biggest unions.

    Yeah, but he doesn’t support the unions in general. A fool and his support are soon parted.
