They aren’t saying anything, but here’s the context. The UK criminalized pro-Palestinian slogans in public a pro-Palestinian rights group called Palestinian Action. They use several slogans, most notably the “Support Palestine Action” slogan. They recently arrested a bunch of people for peacefully protesting with this group.
This guy has a shirt that says “Support Plasticene Action” which, notably, does not reference Palestine at all though the words have an aesthetic similarity to the Palestine slogan. So the pigs are trying to see if they can arrest him for hate speech fucking terrorism (wow) or not.
Edit: got some important facts wrong, so corrected
This is close, but it is specifically in regards to a group called Palestinian Action, not Palestine or Palestinian people in general. The British government declared the group Palestine Action a terrorist group, and there is a preexisting law from 2000 which makes it illegal to support ‘terrorist groups’.
Of course the whole thing is ridiculous (Palestinian Action has never even hurt anyone), and many people have been publicly supporting Palestinian Action in protest. Over 500 people were arrested at a protest on the 10th.
Anyone else clueless as I am? I’m not in a position to turn on sound if there is any

How is supporting a victim of war crimes ‘hate speech’?
Not hate speech. Terrorism. Punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
How is showing sympathy to victims of genocide considered terrorism?
Because the world has totally gone to shit.
Because Fascists don’t care about truth or reason
