  Is that Northern Ireland? Could well be where “geg” comes from if so!

  The Scouse British dialect has a nice term for this: “Geg out”. As opposed to “Fred is gegging in”, used when someone is trying to implicate themselves or become part of the group/conversation.
  Someone involving themselves when they shouldn’t be? Two syllables: Geg. Out.
  No idea where it comes from but I heard it a lot in my youth. Forsomereason.

  This is actually a big deal. They’ve been proscribed as terrorists in the same way as ISIS, Hezbollah, Atomwaffen etc.
  They are a direct action protest group, and they are criminals (at least the members that vandalised property) but they aren’t terrorists. And now, under UK law, expressing support for them is an offence. This is a huge misuse of terrorism legislation. 27 people were arrested yesterday for recording their support for Palestine Action.
