 That's a strange question given we just saw the largest number of people 
 arrested by the Met Police in a single day in the last decade, all because 
 they supported that group. A large number of people have just clearly 
 indicated that they care *very much* about it.

 They were quite clear about what they were doing, it was entirely 
 deliberate, and they knew the legal risks.
