Kind. Not so much
me as a family member who worked for soca/ in uk intel .
There are very strict criteria any group has to meet before a proscription order is issued. The decline in trust of politicians and the police means the public refuses to accept it

I spoke to someone who used to work in govt/ intl security.there will be a reason for the proscription as there are strict criteria for a group to be deemed โ€˜terroristโ€™
It may be who they fund/ get funding from but we won't ever know as these decisions are very very secret. But it wasnt done lightly
