UK democracy in action : Waving Palestinian flag may be a criminal offence, Braverman tells police
Home secretary also suggests clampdown on pro-Arab chants in letter that will concern free speech advocates
Waving a Palestinian #flag or singing a chant advocating freedom for Arabs in the region may be a criminal offence, Suella Braverman has told senior police officers.
In a letter to chief constables in #England and #Wales, the home secretary urged them to clamp down on any attempts to use flags, songs or swastikas to harass or intimidate members of the Jewish community.
Her words, which follow deadly attacks by #Hamas on Israelis and a #military response, will deeply concern #freedom of speech advocates and members of the #Muslim community.
In the letter, #Braverman said police should not restrict themselves to potential offences related to the promotion of Hamas, a proscribed organisation.

they will make room for these cases and release some real criminals.
> If the UK government agree that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza is self defence does this mean that if we are robbed or raped etc by someone we can go after them and beat them in to total submission and claim self defence?
states (or state like actors) can't have natural rights. you can't compare states doing war to rape or robbery.
rapists and robbers are getting away with just a few years in jail here in germany. if you kill in self defense someone who tries to rape or rob you, the state then tries everything possible to put you in jail for it. it's absolutely ridiculous. but i'm rambling.
The State Emblem Redesign Commission is set to reconvene next month to choose a new state flag and seal. The panel found six flag and five seal designs Tuesday that will move on.
This is my City of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada redesign. Not too much in-depth thought about it. But, thinking is the blue are the Battle River and North Saskatchewan River, green the land and white for our winters. Plus, thinking rotate it with the white side on top, it would make a nice pattern 🤷♂️😄
This video is obviously very old news, but I'm curious what people on Lemmy & Kbin think of it. Is it a solid tier list overall, or are there too many egregious misplacements for it to be good?
There are a lot of varying opinions on how complex flags should be. Some prefer that flags be kept more simple and minimal, and others feel that simple flags come off as bland, corporate, and unflaglike. What do you think?...
