New pic is great but yeah, I felt this deeply in my soul. I don't have to suffer the byline pic but it is how I feel about any picture being taken. I do not wish to be perceived!

But my point here was about protest and free speech. I would be writing to my MP if Just Stop Oil or similar had been proscribed terrorists

I'm sure different for different people but a large factor is we can see it. Social media, television, news etc. Reporting of other conflicts happens of course but why people engage less, I can't tell you

You've completely deviated from the point which is about free speech and protest.

I can't speak for "people". Only myself. I've written to my MP on this, funding for a cystic fibrosis drug, and welfare.

You've clearly got some thoughts on why but for some reason you're skirting around it

I really don't understand how that relates to my original point. It's not even really about Gaza. It's about the proscription of a protest group under a terrorism banner.

I'm sorry you think people care too much about Gaza. I think people care about it for a myriad of factors
