For the first time in history, a British court will attempt to sentence activists taking direct action as terrorists despite not being convicted of terror charges. This was kept secret from the jury and UK media has been barred from disclosing it until now. Harriet Williamson reports.
This is suuuch a stretch.
It’s just not terrorism, by any normal understanding of that word. It doesn’t inflict any terror on anyone, either intentionally or unintentionally, nor does it even attempt to inflict terror.
They are terrorist because they tried to restrict access to tools of terror.
Imagine vegetarians being accused of animal cruelty because they tried to convince people not to eat animals.
