In a landmark decision sure to streamline bureaucratic efficiency, the Court of Appeal ruled Thursday that the Home Secretary may proscribe any group under the Terrorism Act for causing ‘inconvenient vibes’ or ‘general disruption of official tea times.’

The ruling overturns a previous High Court decision that banning the direct action group Palestine Action for insufficiently specific law-breaking was wrong, finding that ‘annoying paperwork and negative headlines’ are now valid grounds for a terror designation.

Lead appellate judge Sir Edgar Crumpleworth explained, “We find that if someone, somewhere within Her Majesty’s government feels a bit off about a group, that is more than sufficient to justify their immediate disbandment. We simply can’t have protestors interfering with reputable institutions, like arms dealers.”

Home Secretary Felicity Grimshaw praised the ruling, stating, “This is a major step forward in our fight against dangerous demonstrations, especially those with very long banners that block my view during motorcades.”

Bartholomew Tweed, Undersecretary for Maintaining Orderly Sidewalks, commented, “Our democracy is at its healthiest when a select few can decide which groups are visible in public life, based on gut feeling. It’s British common sense.”

Critics, including the newly outlawed ‘Annoying Cyclists Group,’ have promised a legal challenge, but experts believe that with precedent now set, any group could soon be banned for as little as ‘disturbing the peace of Lord Wadsworth’s nap.’

As of press time, the government was reportedly considering extending the ban to loud pigeons and anyone who fails to appreciate the majesty of the British queue.
