Former Pink Floyd songwriter Roger Waters could face prosecution after declaring his support for Palestine Action, a terrorist organization that has been banned by Parliament in the U.K.

Waters posted a video to X on Saturday, in which the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame inductee praised Palestine Action as a "great organization," while also giving kudos to Bob Vylan, who led the Glastonbury Festival crowd in a chant, shouting, "Death, death to the IDF."

Waters said in his video that he was in his studio and was working on a piece of brown cardboard with a Sharpie.

He then switched the camera from his face to the cardboard.

"This says, ‘Roger Waters supports Palestine Action, 5th of July 2025. Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted. It’s Now,'" Waters read. "This is the moment. I am Spartacus."

"This is Independence Day, July 5th, 2025," he continued. "I declare my independence from the government of the U.K., who’ve just designated Palestine Action a terrorist, proscribed terrorist organization."

Waters said he supports Palestine Action, calling it a "great organization," and noting that they are "nonviolent" and "absolutely not terrorists in any way."

"They’re a nonviolent protest organization protesting the presence in the U.K. of Elbit Systems, who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization," he said. "All right. So, that’s that. I support Palestine Action, and I always will because that is the right thing to do."

He then turned his attention to others who support Palestine, like Bob Vylan, a punk-rap duo who led anti-Israel chants at the Glastonbury Festival late last month.

"We must support our brothers and sisters in Palestine and support them no matter what," Waters said. "So good on you, what was your name? Vylan. Good on you, Vylan, and the rest of you who are standing up to be counted. I love you."

Reuters reported that last week, the U.K. government moved to ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws after its activists broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two planes in protest of what the organization called Britain’s support for Israel.

Interesting that you can be prosecuted in the UK for making a public statement supporting an organization the government there has labelled as "terrorist" although Waters say that they are "a nonviolent protest organization protesting the presence in the U.K. of Elbit Systems, who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization"

Under the First Amendment that couldn't happen here. But the way things are going who knows about the future.

The below apparently is not illegal in the UK, yet.

In the UK you can be arrested for silently praying within a certain distance of an abortion center.

I completely disagree with the UK's arresting people for thoughts or social media posts.  If people want to get their intellectual guidance from a guy who made his name writing drug-addled songs, I don't object.

I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd's music. Probably my favorite band. 

Also, fock the tyrannical UK Govt. That's why we kicked England's ass and declared independence from them.

True, but after Waters left, the music just wasn't as good. This is another case of "appreciate the art, but not the artist."
