I'm totally against the proscription, but the individual idiots who broke into the base vandalised 2 air tankers with no link to Palestine, but would provide a critical role in the event Russia decided to threaten the UK with nuclear subs.
It was such a dumb move, it's hard to believe it wasn't a Russian op using PA as cover.

"Charged with supporting" RIP democracy.
Palestine Action was banned after they breached a UK military base

Free Speech is important. But what they did isn't free speech.
Neither is it terrorism by any rational definition of the word.
That's a crime for the people who broke into a base, not a reason to ban an entire organization. Lots of activist organizations have had members do illegal things. If that's all it takes for the government to ban them, that's an easy bar to manufacture and/or selectively activate.
Supporting what they did is free speech. That's the whole damn point of free speech and it's legitimately insane that in the UK the government just gets to arrest you for that.
For trying to stop a genocide that the uk is complicit with.
