Following the vote by MPs, four people were arrested in a protest organised by Palestine Action outside Westminster.
These included one man who the Met Police said had "blocked the gates of Downing Street with his mobility scooter"
Terrorist!
In a statement after the vote, Palestine Action said the home secretary had "bundled our domestic civil disobedience protest group in with two violent, neo-Nazi militias".
"Many MPs told us that as a consequence they felt they did not have the option to vote against the measure," it said.
Sounds like a dereliction of duty from many MPs. Is that not what the ability to debate is about? They could also vote no explaining that they believe 1 out of the 3 groups aren't legitimate and that individual votes are required. But that sounds like too much like hard work I guess.
385 for
26 against
239 abstained
Interestingly high amount of abstained. I think I need to email my MP for an explanation...
- They could also vote no explaining that they believe 1 out of the 3 groups aren't legitimate
  It's a classic political trap. Vote no on these grounds and be labelled a Nazi loving terrorist sympathiser. The facts won't matter. They didn't matter in the first place.
- 85% of the Lib Dems abstained. I feel like they'd have done less damage to their credibility if they'd forced their MP's to vote yes. Greens are the only ones with principle, 100% no vote
  
  Not that that matters with the fucked up voting system you brits, scotts, Welsh & (settlers on Irish soil) have
Tyrannical "anti-terrorism" laws being used to undermine anti-government causes. Color me fucking surprised.
The british govt's longheld tradition of betraying the palestinians continues.
Shocking. Guess we have to hope it gets blocked and overturned in court but I don't know if there's anything remotely like a precedent for that.
~~FINALLY People are starting to Label the People GUNNING DOWN STARVING CHILDREN AND RUNNING OVER PREGNANT WOMEN WITH TANKS as Terrorists!~~
Nevermind!

Parliament in a nutshell:
Yesterday MPs, including Yvette Cooper, celebrated the suffragette legacy of civil disobedience that won women the right to vote..
Only to then vote to designate non-violent direct action group Palestine Action as terrorists.
Westminster is broken.
