- Muslims Against Crusades to be banned from midnight | UK news | The Guardian
'Home secretary announces ban on group, which burned poppies last November and was planning Armistice Day protest this year' But they're doing it for the fact that they're glorifying terrorism, and they're apparently just a renaming of an already banned group, not for burning poppies, so I have less issue with the ban.
