This came about after the group, known for its high-profile direct actions targeting arms manufacturers supplying Israel, broke into an RAF base and sprayed military jets with red paint in protest against UK arms sales. Warriner’s interviewees expressed a range of perspectives, with many raising concerns about the precedent this decision sets and the apparent disparity in how different groups are treated under the law. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will submit a statement before parliament on Monday which if passed will make it illegal to be a member of the group, the BBC reported. If passed, it will mark the first time that a direct action group has been classified as a terrorist organisation under UK anti-terror legislation, a move that many view as a troubling shift in the boundaries of lawful dissent.
