Met Police: You will never be able to travel to US or work in education again if you attend this weekend's Palestine Action protest
Palestine Action demonstrators may never be able to visit the US or work in education if they take part in this weekend's protest, the Met Police have warned. The force have said those in attendance risk being arrested under the Terrorism Act. It comes after three supporters of Palestine Action were the first to be charged under the Act, Scotland Yard has said. The group was proscribed as a terror organisation last month after an alleged attack on aircraft at RAF Brize Norton. Two women and a man, who were arrested at a demonstration on July 5 and later charged, are set to appear in court next month. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan has warned participating at the protest could have serious consequences for the future. The Daily Telegraph reported he said: 'I would urge those people to consider the seriousness of being arrested under the Terrorism Act and the very real long term implications from - from travel, to employment, to finances, that such an arrest is likely to have for their future.' Being arrested for a terror offence - even if later cleared - could stop you from travelling to the US or working in education, lawyers have urged. Membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, under the Terrorism Act 2000. At least 500 activists are set to swarm the police this Saturday and join a demonstration at Parliament Square, in which they will hold signs saying 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action '. It has fuelled fears of a 'mass arrest' event, with police and No 10 confirming this week that anyone who supported the newly proscribed terror group would be arrested. But Tim Crosland, co-founder of Defender Our Juries, which is organising this weekend's protest, said he was 'proud' of those who had signed up to show support for Palestine Action, calling them 'the moral backbone of this country'. He told Times Radio that arresting peaceful protesters was a waste of police time. Prison bosses have initiated emergency measures for a possible influx of arrested demonstrators this weekend amid concerns that some jails are close to full.

My middle-class friends all look terrible for their age... thanks to cocaine. They snort it constantly and see no shame - but the truth is all over their haggard faces: ANNIE JACKSON
Coming back from the primary school summer fête, all of us – six parents and five children – piled into Emma and Richard's £2 million house in leafy north London. While the kids, all aged six and under, headed upstairs to do some face painting, Emma closed the kitchen door, poured out the Sauvignon... then started cutting lines of cocaine.

'Restriction zones' to be introduced for domestic abusers
The government is seeking to introduce "restriction zones" to limit where convicted domestic abusers can go. Exclusion zones currently exist to stop perpetrators from going within a certain distance of where their victims live. The new plans would place greater limits where abusers can go, with the aim of allowing survivors to go about their daily lives without fear of seeing their former abuser. Sexual and violent offenders could be restricted to certain locations and tracked with technology under the new proposals. They would then face jail time for breaching the conditions. Probation officers will carry out detailed risk assessments and work with survivors to decide on banned locations for perpetrators. 4:58 Survivor Leanne said from her experience, she would have asked for restriction zones at the school where she took her two children, her local supermarket or near her family's homes. "These are places where I was confronted, even when he had restraining orders," the 54-year-old said. While Leanne said she is "loving what I'm hearing" about the government's approach, she added: "Would I put a lot of faith in it? Probably not, because I don't like being let down, and I've been let down by previous governments. "So we can only have hope." Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones will announce the new measure at charity Advance in London on Friday. The victims minister will say abusers will be GPS monitored to provide real-time data about where they are going, and subject to "virtual boundaries". The government is overhauling the prison system to curb overcrowding, which could see violent and sexual offenders released from jail earlier, and for more criminals to serve sentences in the community. Tens of thousands of offenders would be tagged, prompting concerns from the victims' commissioner for England and Wales over the Probation Service's ability to cope with rising numbers. The government has announced £700m of funding until 2028/29 for the Probation Service to back up its reforms. It will also recruit 1,300 new probation officers by March 2026.
