Downing Street has urged people not to take part in a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action as police warned they would arrest anyone breaking terrorism laws.

Palestine Action has been banned under terrorism laws, and this weekend a large event protesting against its proscription has been organised by the group Defend Our Juries.

    Keir Starmer’s official spokesperson said: “[…] those who seek to support this group may yet not know the true nature of this organisation, but people should be under no illusion this is not a peaceful or non-violent protest group.”

    Not sure if this is the Guardian’s mistake or Number 10’s, but the missing colon totally flips the sentence on its head. Emphasis mine.
