Comment on Journalist Richard Medhurst arrested under Britain’s Terrorism Act

  I don’t have a problem with any element of that law.

  I’m profoundly comfortable with people being arrested and imprisoned for substantial sentences for expressing support for Hamas and similar Jihadi terror groups.

    Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these countries also support Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

      Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these are the same countries that are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

      Those are also more or less the only countries I’d trust to be able to correctly identify a terrorist group.

      This is a “leopards ate my face” law. It’s fine until you get caught up in it however unlikely that appears now.

      I simply don’t support terrorist organisations. It isn’t difficult.

        Many of those countries also thought Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

      You say only a handful of countries and then you list a shit ton of countries. Made to look smaller by lumping all of the EU into one country.

      How many members are in the EU again?
