Bestselling Irish author Sally Rooney has announced that her books can no longer be sold in the UK due to the British government’s ban on Palestine Action.
In a statement on Wednesday, the award-winning Normal People author said that due to her publicly-stated intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, including with royalties from her work, “the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence”
I signed amd sent an email attesting my support for PA to some entities related to judiciary and law enforcement in Britain. It was part of a large group effort online.
I forget who it was (something akin to Defend Our Juries), but I was cautioned that I should consider the risk of detention should I ever travel to the UK again. So I’ve informed family and friends that I will likely not be returning there. Simple.

The UK is way ahead when it comes to banning speech. So the knowledge transfer can go both ways!

That’s why they call it “Airstrip One.”
