      Exactly! Terrorism is instilling a fear into a population. What these people did in this case did not effect any body not working in security for a company selling weapons to a proven genocidal nation which will be used to kill children. I

      In fact, we will look back at this as just, just like the suffragettes, the LGBT+ communities, the racial communities and so many others.

      I, a British citizen, am terrified by the far right actions all over the country directly threatening people and their houses. This is happening on our streets, in our houses and is exactly what I would describe as terrorism.

      They actually called it a riot? Last I heard it was a bunch of ‘protesters’ that had set stuff on fire.

    So what you’re saying is that there is no difference between peaceful protesting and throwing bombs and, say, murdering politicians?

    Do you want real terrorism? Because this is how you feed real terrorism

      If the consequences for robbery are the same as for murder then robbers have no incentive to leave their victims alive. The people in charge are far too arrogant to understand that they’re setting themselves up for a bad end.

    Tried as demonstrators, sentenced as terrorists. Grounds for appeal all the way up to the ECHR, surely?

    If they are to be sentenced as terrorists then they should be set free as no terrorism happened

      Unless they are planning to start deeming damage to something…like property, as terrorism.

      Regardless the reasoning for them doing this, you cannot smash someone with a sledgehammer and lie to yourself that you are still the good guy.

      The disturbing thing is that the people who damaged property got almost the same sentence as the guy who attacked a woman

        You’re 100% a good person if you smash a Nazi with a sledgehammer. Violence does not make you a bad person, the target does.

        It’s bad to fight back against women soldiers, cops and security guards. With this one neat trick I will make all war and violence illegal and wrong.

      No, but doing something more than just standing on the sidewalk holding signs with generic slogans apparently does.
