Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽

It’s a hate crime. Why is this racist wee gobshite still being platformed

Hanging on to every word of Test Match Special as I’m sat on West Sands Beach in St. Andrews with my book and picnic in the sun. I can certainly think of worser ways of spending a Sunday afternoon! 😂🏏📻☀️
