From the article - reads ‘However, Lord Walney, the government's former adviser on political violence and disruption, warned that the charges announced by the Met were not enough to deter people from showing support and solidarity with the group. He told The Times: "This action from the Met sends a welcome signal that there are consequences for Gaza activists if they are lured into support for a proscribed organisation by Palestine Action ring leaders, but three charges on their own may well be insufficient to deter the current attempt to overwhelm the criminal justice system." Warning about Saturday's protest, he added: "There's a clear attempt by sympathisers of Palestine Action to try to overwhelm the criminal justice system by luring as many people as possible to this mass protest. "Many young. people, students and lots of people across the system risk getting duped by ringleaders of Palestine Action who are telling them 'don't worry you won't get charged even if you get arrested'. That's a terrible message to send out. "The slowness of this process is actually increasing the scale of the problem and that is something to which the attorney-general should have a view.”’
