Short context. A demonstrator in the UK, wearing a shirt that said “plasticine action,” was arrested and later released, as they were not technically showing support for the direct action group.

      It is, it’s material used to make those claymation movies like Wallace and Gromit.

      Plasticine Action is a group of artists against AI generated animation and art.

          Presumably because the cop mistook it for “Palestine action”, or an intentional misspelling thereof, and the British government is apparently so scared of those guys that they’ve declared them to legally be terrorists.

            Yeah they threw paint on some RAF planes as a protest against the UK govt supplying arms to Israel to kill children with, so obviously that means they’re dangerous terrorists 🙄 I hate this country sometimes

              Imagine if they threw some paint in a crowded city center! Hundreds of women and children, slain by paint, strewn across the streets!

              We should add paint to the controlled substances list, require a licence to buy it, and require a Police Officer to be present during its use to ensure it is used in accordance with the state.

              Its ease of use as a terrorist weapon of mass destruction is just too high to ignore, which is obviously why Labour took the drastic action of placing this otherwise mundane protest group into the top tier Terrorist list.

                Here in the US, the second amendment means that paint is readily available at a hardware store. Most big ones have a dedicated counter with a specialist to mix the paint to your exact order! You don’t even need ID!
