What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Faber & Faber confirmed it would no longer offer Sally Rooney's works in the British market because she supports Palestine Action, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the government. Separately, activists damaged two aircraft at RAF Brize Norton in June 2025, resulting in an estimated £7 million in damage.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The anti-terror legislation prevents the publisher from passing on British sales proceeds to Sally Rooney, as supporting Palestine Action could constitute a criminal offense. The damage to aircraft at RAF Brize Norton requires immediate repair and affects the operational costs of the Royal Air Force.
