Some simple kung fu is enough to keep the police at bay.

[Police arrest 474 at Palestine Action ban protest]
[Police have arrested 474 people at a demonstration in London in support of banned group Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police said 466 protesters were arrested for supporting the group, five for assaults on police officers, two for public order offences, and one for a racially aggravated offence. Scores of people simultaneously unveiled handwritten signs with the message "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action" at the protest, organised by Defend Our Juries at Westminster's Parliament Square. The government proscribed the group in July under the Terrorism Act of 2000, making membership of or support for it a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. No officers were seriously injured, and the Met Police said the number of arrests was the largest made by the force on a single day in the last 10 years. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper thanked police for their response, while charity Amnesty International described the mass arrests as "deeply concerning". Footage from the square showed officers moving among the protesters, who were mainly seated on the ground, and speaking to them before leading them away. Protesters whose details could be confirmed during processing were bailed with conditions not to attend any further protest in support of Palestine Action. People who refused to give their details or whose identities could not be verified were taken into custody.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8de6rq37v5o |

I wonder if they release there's more than one group that opposes "genocide" ?
If one group gets proscribed after causing millions of pounds worth of damage to the country's armed forces ... support another?

Yes, being reported as
Many retired older people do not mind being arrested. What's important about them, if they are 2nd time arrested send them to jail. |

Whether you agree with why they were protesting or not, imagine agreeing with arresting a bunch of peaceful protestors. Talk about authoritarian.
It reminds me when the police arrested people during Covid who wanted to protest against certain restrictions. Not a good luck. If all is non-violent, people should be able to protest. |
