Challenging the UK Terror Act: The Ridiculous Proscription of Palestine Action in 2023

Environmental advocate Jonathon Porritt argues that the UK government’s classification of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization under the Terrorism Act is out of step with public sentiment. According to Porritt, this decision does not reflect the views of the populace, highlighting a significant disconnect between government actions and the opinions of its citizens. As of 2025, this stance has stirred debate across the UK, emphasizing the ongoing tensions surrounding activism and government policy.
