This morning I have written to my MP raising my concerns (again) about the proscription of Palestine Action.

I would urge you (if you live in the UK) to do the same.

As you know I was disappointed that you voted in support of the proscription of Palestine Action. The proscription under the Terrorism Act has now been used to arrest over 600 peaceful demonstrators in the last couple of weeks, including over 400 in London yesterday. This is not a good use of scarce police time & effort, nor it seems to me an appropriate use of legislation intended to be used against terrorists & their enablers, not peaceful protestors. As my MP I am requesting that you contact Yvette Cooper to convey that this is both anti-democratic & is bringing the government into disrepute.
