    This is absurd.

    Yes Palestine Action broke the law by damaging insanely expensive property. And like any protest that dose this. The right or wrong of the cause has no effect on the legal requirements of the actions.

    CND, Greenpeace and many many other protest organisations have also commited expensive crimes over the decades.

    When a government starts deciding what citizens can or cannot support rather the how. It is no different to banning book or speech.
