We have 'freedom of expression' as outlined in the 1998 Human Rights Act. The HRA says that we are free to express ourselves as we see fit so long as it is within the confines of the law.
We have relatively strong hate speech laws as outlined in the 1986 Public Order Act, which makes it an offense to "[make] threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviours that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress" and "language that encourages terrorism".
Recently a non-violent pro-Palestine, activist group (Palestine Action) was prescribed as a terrorist group, making it illegal to support any of their actions.
I don't know much about this activist group,
But the Wiki seems to provide information that would be counter to your 'non-violent' claim.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action#Other_protests
Are these entries in the Wiki false?
Nope, but they don't describe any violence. Violence is harming PEOPLE, not damaging property.
If you think that daubing weapons of genocide with red paint is violence, let alone makes you a fucking TERRORIST, you really need to reexamine your values.
A fashion terrorist maybe.
