The UK Home Secretary today should give you a bit of reaction.

She said she's disappointed by the course decision.

The prescription of Palestine action, she said, followed a rigorous and evidence-based decision-making process endorsed by Parliament.

But this is not the end of the matter.

The government says it fully intends to appeal this decision.

So if the ruling isn't overturned by the court, the Court of Appeal, what will happen to the people that were arrested for supporting Palestine Action?

Because some of them were arrested for holding placards saying, I support Palestine Action.

And the leader of the UK Green Party says it's about 2,700 people.

It's a lot of people, isn't it?

And what is unclear at the moment in the Metropolitan Police recently in the last few minutes have just said this as well, because of the unusual nature of the people that were arrested in this procedure.

At the moment, people that do turn up holding those placards that say, I oppose genocide, I support Palestine action, will not be arrested.

So it sort of reflects the unclear nature of this whole process.

But they say for the moment, those people holding those placards will no longer be arrested.
