London's High Court ruled the government's ban on protest group Palestine Action unlawful and a disproportionate interference with freedom of expression.

The judges just blurred the boundary. A state that cannot proscribe a group until the damage becomes spectacular is a state that waits for the next escalation. Call it expression if you like, but organised criminality wrapped in politics is still organised criminality. The government should appeal and make clear that intimidation by sabotage is not a protected pastime.
