There are lessons to learn, and that must start now, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

I'd also prefer to forget I have a face

New pic is great but yeah, I felt this deeply in my soul. I don't have to suffer the byline pic but it is how I feel about any picture being taken. I do not wish to be perceived!

But my point here was about protest and free speech. I would be writing to my MP if Just Stop Oil or similar had been proscribed terrorists

I'm sure different for different people but a large factor is we can see it. Social media, television, news etc. Reporting of other conflicts happens of course but why people engage less, I can't tell you

You've completely deviated from the point which is about free speech and protest.

I can't speak for "people". Only myself. I've written to my MP on this, funding for a cystic fibrosis drug, and welfare.

You've clearly got some thoughts on why but for some reason you're skirting around it

I really don't understand how that relates to my original point. It's not even really about Gaza. It's about the proscription of a protest group under a terrorism banner.

I'm sorry you think people care too much about Gaza. I think people care about it for a myriad of factors

Sorry I don't understand your point

I wrote to my MP today to ask why she voted to proscribe Palestine Action. I genuinely want to hear her reasons. After sending I worried expressing my view that it was the wrong decision could be deemed as a supporting terrorism. That this crossed my mind shows we've gone seriously wrong somewhere

Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Number of arrests was highest recorded in relation to single operation in at least past decade, according to Met police

What a monumental waste of time and money. This is embarrassing

Why I absolutely love a visit to the dump | Adrian Chiles Throwing things away is bad. Buying them in the first place was probably bad, too. But the act of disposing of them at the rubbish tip is a glorious moment of relief and release, writes Adrian Chiles

Have memory of going to the dump mentioned in this article and sitting on my dad's shoulder throwing in bottles to the bottle bank for what felt like eternity. A fond memory, though with hindsight god my parents used to get through the booze
