Direct actionists have just started calling themselves “unaffiliated” or “yvette cooper”. the org also seems to have decent opsec and never had any members beyond its founders and loosely-organised cadres that did workshops in a few cities.

I imagine a few actionists will get charged if they have email or phone comms that link them to PA before the ban, but the UK courts are nothing if a bunch of sticklers for rules and will probably be lenient (as with PA pre-ban) if cases come through the system. Proscription orders cannot apply retroactively.

the risk will be to regular folk who will be harassed and arrested to break up Palestine marches, other solidarity events like fundraisers, and organisers of direct action training/workshops.

Considering the Filton 18 is already being held without trial under terrorism charges, I wonder how much difference it will make to deter or punish actionists. Because if the UK govt never needed proscription to indefinitely hold these people, what is their real goal?
