mago Protesters who heckled Lammy accuse government of 16:49, ‘rewarding terrorism’ Two of the protesters who heckled Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy at the vigil earlier have been speaking to Sky News in Manchester. They explained how the government's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood recently, despite the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel, had fuelled their decision to speak up. Eddie Edwards said: "This is a direct result of a government rewarding terrorism "Look at last night, why would people march only a few miles down the road?” he said, referring to pro-Palestinian protests that reportedly took place in Manchester yesterday. "The government are complicit in this - if you reward terrorism, you get terrorism,” he added

Mr Polanski went on to say that every MP who had supported the proscription of Palestine Action as terrorist organisation should "hang their heads in shame". "We cannot talk about stopping genocide without talking about draconian crackdown on the right to protest happening against those taking action for Palestine; using terrorist legislation to arrest hundreds and hundreds of protesters for simply holding up a sign," he said. "This country has a proud tradition of protecting civil liberties, but once again, a Labour government is cracking down on our rights from terrorist proscriptions against protesters, to banning journalists from their conference, to diving into a rushed, evidence-free plan for digital IDs that will only discriminate mainly against minorities. "The alarm bells of authoritarianism are ringing loud and clear."
