A Buckinghamshire couple, Larry and Sue, were holding a sign in support of
“Plasticine Action”, a subtle difference in spelling that changes the meaning
entirely.
“About eight policemen came and they read me my rights and said I was
being arrested under the Terrorism Act and they were about to take me away
so Isat on the floor. And when they were bending down to take me away one
of them noticed that it says something else and they had to let me go.”
During the interview with the Guardian, a police officer approached them.
“Sir, can I take your sign please?” the officer said, before realising it did not
express support for Palestine Action. “Im dyslexic!” she added.
“Pm totally fed up with what is happening in Gaza,” said Larry. “Everybody
that is not raising their voice to this is somehow slightly complicit in letting
our government support this.”
