Palestine Action supporters to defy threat of mass arrests
The UK is bracing for a weekend of protest anarchy with both Palestine Action supporters and anti-migrant demonstrators set to take to the streets. More than 500 people are expected gather outside Parliament at 1pm tomorrow in support of Palestine Action, defying warnings they will be charged with terror offences. Membership of, or support for, the proscribed group is now a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 and is punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Meanwhile, police up and down the country are also preparing for a series of anti-migrant protests outside hotels and council offices. There is particular concern about a protest planned in Nuneaton which comes amid claims Warwickshire Police held back information over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl. Restrictions have also been put in place by police in at least 12 towns and cities, including Norwich, on Friday evening. It comes after anti-racism activists clashed with police and anti-migrant protesters outside a hotel last Saturday where asylum seekers are being housed. Last night, Scotland Yard issued a stark warning to people planning to attend the Palestine Action protest, saying they may never be able to visit the US or work in education if they do. Regardless, the group behind the protest Defend Our Juries, has continued to post on its X account, saying counter-terror police had 'irresponsibly taken down their briefing call'. It claimed last night, however, that 'many hundreds' of people had attended the meeting on another Zoom link. The group has said that those taking part in Saturday's protest will hold 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' signs as part of a campaign to end the group's proscription. Defend Our Juries co-founder Tim Crosland previously praised the people who support Palestine action as the 'moral backbone of this country'. Mr Crosland added in an online press conference he had been 'hearing from thousands of people wanting to take part in this action'. 'It feels like there's huge energy behind it,' he said. Meanwhile on Thursday, three people were charged with terror offences for allegedly 'showing support for Palestine Action at a protest'. Jeremy Shippam, 71, Judit Murray, 71, and Fiona Maclean, 53, were arrested following a protest in Parliament Square last Saturday. They will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 16, the Metropolitan Police said. The planned demonstration tomorrow has since fuelled fears of a 'mass arrest' event. And today, commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met's Counter-Terrorism Command, sent a clear warning to anyone thinking of joining the rally. He said according to The Telegraph: 'Anyone who displays public support for Palestine Action, a proscribed organisation, is committing an offence under the Terrorism Act and can expect to be arrested and, as these charges show, will be investigated to the full extent of the law.' 'I would strongly advise anyone planning to come to London this weekend to show support for Palestine Action to think about the potential criminal consequences of their actions.' It comes after Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan last night called on people to consider the consequences of being arrested under the terrorism act. He said such a detention can have 'very real long-term implications – from travel, to employment, to finances'. Last week, Palestine Action won permission to challenge the ban after the High Court ruled it had an arguable case. A judicial review will take place in November. Until then, the ban remains in place. There have already been 200 arrests at protests organised by Defend Our Juries since the ban came into force last month. Days out from the planned protest, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy also sought to head off potentially chaotic scenes in the capital. She urged the public to steer clear of support for a 'proscribed terror organisation that wishes harm on the British people'. Speaking to Times Radio, Ms Nandy was asked if those who attend Saturday's protest will be arrested and charged with terror offences. The Culture Secretary stressed this would be 'an operational matter for the police', adding: 'It wouldn't be right for us to say, to try and dictate to them how they police any march. 'But what I would say is, I think some of the reporting around this is conflating legitimate protests. 'Just last week I was coming out of Parliament, there were lots of pro-Palestinian protesters there, peacefully demonstrating. 'At the heart of power, that's absolutely right and proper and important for them to do... I commend them for that. 'There's a difference between that and supporting a proscribed terror organisation that wishes harm on the British people. 'And I would just urge people to stay away from those sorts of events and to exercise their democratic rights in a peaceful and legitimate way.'

UFC icon Michael Bisping begs fans for information on serial killer and claims he fought off hammer-wielding attacker
FORMER UFC star Michael Bisping has appealed for information about a serial killer after claiming that he was targeted in the 1990s. The 46-year-old took to social media on Friday morning to reveal that he was once attacked by someone who intended to burn down his flat. 3 3 He recalled that the person in question pulled out a hammer and attempted to hit him. Bisping has now asked for more information about a notorious serial killer who he believes could be the same person that attacked him. He said: "A story was put on Twitter the other day about some notorious serial killer in the north of England between the 1990s and the 2000s who apparently is now locked up in prison for rape and murder. "He has been telling stories about the time he came to my house in the 1990s and tried to kill me. "The thing is, in the 1990s, around 1997, I lived in this little flat above a greengrocer's and someone did knock on the door, sprayed me in the face with CS gas. "They had a canister of petrol or gasoline and he was trying to burn the place down. Then he pulled out a lump hammer and I fought him off, chased him out the house. "We found out later by the police when they investigated and forensics came round, he'd climbed in through the window earlier that day and disconnected my phone line. "I was trying to call the police and he was just kind of watching me and then when he was convinced that I was actually talking to someone, he dropped the petrol or the gasoline and pulled out a lump hammer and then came over towards me. "I didn't know who it was, the police never caught him. I had my theories at the time because I'd had a few little skirmishes but no solid evidence. Now, almost 20 years later, some serial killer is in prison apparently saying it was him. "Apparently it's a YouTube channel on true crime called That Chapter. If you know anything about this let me know because I'm dying to know more. I'm going to do a YouTube video breaking it all down. "Apparently he's a notorious killer, the Hammer Killer from the north west of England, so a bit of a mad one." Bisping then concluded: "What do you know about this Chapter and the guy who tried to kill me? Because if you know who he is I'm going to bloody kill him." The MMA star retired from UFC in 2017, 13 years after making his professional fighting debut. During his career he held the UFC middleweight title and the Cage Rage light heavyweight title. Bisping has since dipped into the world of acting and has featured in films such as Den of Thieves and XXX: The Return of Xander Cage. 3
