  Abuse of terrorism laws to repress opinions the government disagrees with. Who could have seen this coming when those laws were introduced!

    Ironically the Labour party when they were in opposition 😐

    Tbf, leaving aside the morality of their cause, they broke into and vandalised an RAF base. That’s more disruptive behaviour than most groups who get banned engage in.

      In the end the RAF are the ones supplying and supporting the terrorist Israeli regime.

    For some reason Western governments can’t resist creating tyrannical laws for someone even worse to abuse later, with the excuse that no-one reasonable would use it for that.

  “Oh no! Some random civilians exposed our utter incompetence to the world. Best call them terrorists before anyone gets any ideas for actual sabotage!”

    I mean, it was actual sabotage. Those engines will need complete rebuilding.

      I’m pretty surprised so many people are ok with UK defensive capabilities being sabotaged.

      Being against Israel’s war crimes is one thing (and obviously IMO the correct response), but breaking into an RAF base and destroying the engines of multiple planes obviously isn’t something that should be tolerated or encouraged.

      It was sabotage, but to call it terrorism implies they were endangering human life. If they wanted to do that, they could have sabotaged the engines in a way that wasn’t obvious, and would cause failures when the plane took off. This was clearly meant to be visible to everyone, they even filmed it. It’ll cost money to fix, but it never endangered human life.
