It’s become a bit frightening how much freedom of speech has been restricted in the UK this year. Seems like anything with a word that even vaguely sounds like Palestine in the same sentence as the word action gets you sent to jail.
In Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, a community group tried to organise a peaceful vigil in support of Palestine and were intimidated into hiding it by an actual terrorist organisation. And of course no arrests were made here and their local MP suggested they abide by the threats of the local paramilitaries and hold it indoors.
