UK police hold pro-Palestine protester, 80, for almost 27 hours and search house

She was arrested at the scene. She was then held for 27 hours, and during that time police searched her home.

I think she was the one holding a sign that read something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now" Palestine and Action were on separate lines, and she argued with police that there was a full stop between the words.

I can't wait until we have our 3rd dumb fuck vote, after Brexit and Boris, and vote in Nigel Farage. Then the US will go "Hold my beer" and go for Trump for a 3rd time.

The one connecting factor in all this is the Cambridge Analytica style of influencing and stealing elections.

You are right, but also I doubt she was expecting her protesting to directly change anyone in power's mind. The tactic is obviously to keep doing this with people who are very media friendly (little old grannies and the like) so stories keep getting into the papers of "lovely person arrested for protesting!" which does put pressure on the government.

Isn't she the one who held up a sign saying something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now."? It's a bit convoluted to say that was support for the group Palestine Action, and that arrest, search, and home curfew for several months is an appropriate response.
