"Palestine Action Poses No Threat to UK Democracy – Repressive Government Does"

Under this administration, even peaceful dissent is increasingly treated as a threat. The government's fixation on suppressing opposition has eroded the legal safeguards meant to protect citizens. Traditional checks and balances are fading, replaced by arbitrary enforcement that aligns with political convenience rather than justice.

Palestine Action is just the latest target. The group's defiance—challenging arms trade companies complicit in Israel’s military actions—has made it a prime candidate for repression. By weaponizing counterterrorism laws, the government avoids addressing legitimate grievances, preferring to criminalize dissent instead.

This isn’t governance; it’s control. And as power consolidates, dissent becomes more perilous. The consequences extend beyond specific protest movements. When political opposition is equated with terrorism, the line between democracy and autocracy blurs. Unfortunately, this trajectory shows no signs of reversing—unless resistance grows louder.

CuriosityNews has long warned about the dangers of unchecked authority. None of this is inevitable. But without sustained public pressure, the erosion of rights will only accelerate. Governments, regardless of their origins, will exploit power unless held to account. The question is whether enough people will push back before it’s too late.
