Will I have trouble travelling to the UK as a vocal Extinction Rebellion member?
Extinction Rebellion (XR) has been listed as terrorist organisation in the UK. I am an Australian citizen with a passport who has been to the UK before, and an active member of XR Australia. Will I have an issue travelling there (primarily England) in the next 6 months?
Edit: In this case, please assume it holds up. This is entirely possible due to the home secretary support

Counter-terrorism police confirmed it had been circulated to “statutory partners” and had now been recalled. They said they now accepted that the protest group was not extremist.
and later:
In its first statement, CTPSE said: “This document was produced at a local level to help our partners to spot the signs of vulnerability to radicalisation. By including Extinction Rebellion in this document, it gives the impression we consider them to be an extremist group, which they are not. We will review the guidance to make this clear.”
Later, after further inquiries from the Guardian, police said they would recall the document.
