Hey OP, you gotta give us a quote or synopsis or something. This is an archive of an Economist article from Aug 13th 2025 about a new English law and older protestors who have the free time to go out and make frail, wobbly, noise.

The government placed Palestine Action on a terror list in July after its members vandalised two aeroplanes on a British air base. Most were arrested for holding a placard reading “I oppose genocide” (which is legal to say) and “I support Palestine Action” (which contravenes section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000). Yet it revealed an overlooked facet of British politics. At street protests, it is often the boomers who are on the barricades.
