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.”

Four paragraphs from the BBC News repot, quoting Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley: "It's really important we're deploying it where there's an intelligence basis to do so," he told board members. "That's one of the safeguards - that you're not using it as mass surveillance tool - you're using it in particular places where there is intelligence based to say this may actually make people safer." Sir Mark added that although there may be a case for using the technology at future protests, it would need to be balanced with freedom of speech concerns, as it could have a "chilling effect". "And the intelligence picture at the weekend - that we had before the event - didn't justify that," he added.

The organisers of a protest in support of banned terror group Palestine Action have refused a plea by Scotland Yard to call it off in the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack. Hundreds of people have said they will attend a demonstration in Trafalgar Square in London on Saturday in support of the group, which has been banned by the government as a terrorist organisation. Defend Our Juries, who organised the demonstration, said the protest “will go ahead as planned”, PA Media reports. In a letter of response to Scotland Yard, it said: “The protection of our democracy and the prevention of countless deaths are critical issues. Therefore, our protest will go ahead as planned for this Saturday. “We urge you, therefore, to choose to prioritise protecting the community, rather than arresting those peacefully holding signs in opposition to the absurd and draconian ban of a domestic direct action group. “We hope you make the right choice to not arrest those taking part, and correctly deploy counter-terrorism resources this weekend.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2025/oct/02/police-reports-stabbing-synagogue-greater-manchester-live?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-68dedf9d8f08e601ab9b7e2d#block-68dedf9d8f08e601ab9b7e2d

3hago 14.178ST Polanski is now talking about his boyfriend, Richie, who works in palliative care. 44 Caring for people, working for the public - showing kindness and compassion. Thats the most patriotic thing I could possibly ever imagine. As well as thanking Richie, he thanks everyone in the party for what they do. 44 Look at next year alone and get ready for some bold politics. We're fighting to win our first ever directly elected mayor in Hackney. We’re campaigning to win more seats in more places than ever before. And we are on the cusp of winning our first ever seats on the Senedd. In many areas, the party is ready to win.

3hago 14.1185T And Polanski goes on to attack Labour for its record on civil rights. 44 This country has a proud tradition of protecting civil liberties - but once again a Labour government is cracking down on our rights. From terrorist proscription against protesters To banning journalists from their conference To diving into a rushed evidence-free plan for digital IDs that are likely to discriminate against minorities The alarm bells of authoritarianism are now ringing. And it’s down to us, the Green party, to take a stand and say that our rights and our liberties are not negotiable, and we will do everything in our power to protect both our privacy and defend our juries.

The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, added her voice on Friday to calls to postpone the event, after police said they wanted to be able to focus their resources on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, said that continuing protests after the attack “will likely create further tensions and some might say lacks sensitivity”. The organisers, Defend Our Juries, said in a statement on Friday that supporters, including many Jewish people, wanted the protest to go ahead. It expected 1,500 people, including priests, vicars, pensioners and others, to take part in the event, which would involve them peacefully sitting holding cardboard signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.
