New tune! "WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION!"

I wrote this yesterday, and recorded it this evening to beat the proscription on Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, which comes into effect at midnight, after MPs voted for it by 385 votes to 26 on Wednesday, and after attempts to block it in court were turned down today in the High Court and in the Court of Appeals.

Palestine Action is a direct action group seeking to shut down weapons supplies for Israel's genocide in Gaza, but the Labour government, serving its masters in Israel, has obligingly designated it as a terrorist organization to demonstrate not only that it actively supports the genocide, but that taking direct action to oppose it is terrorism.

When the proscription goes ahead, at midnight, it will be illegal to be a member of Palestine Action or to support them in any way, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. I want to record and play this song with other musicians, but it seems like doing so may get me arrested.

Mass disobedience would seem to be required ...
