- ThrowawayTestr 10mo agoDidn't that group attack an RAF base?
- vogon_laureate 10mo agoAnd violently sledgehammered a female police officer breaking her spine.
- Natfan 10mo agoand that's terrorism, is it? i just thought it was GBH, but i'll update my definition if you can cite your sources...
- vogon_laureate 10mo agoGiven that the Palestine Action is a proscribed terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act, and its co-founder said just one day after the Oct 7 massacre: “When we hear the resistance, the Al-Aqsa flood [Hamas' name for the massacre] we must turn that flood into a tsunami of the whole world.” Yes.
- happymellon 10mo agoAttack is a strong word for throwing a can of paint. After the 2024 riots there were mass arrests and prosecution, but only talk about reviewing groups as to whether they should be proscribed. Why does a member throwing a can of paint get you classed as a terrorist organisation, while organising riots that involve throwing molotov's and causing serious injury not? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots
- dfawcus 10mo agoTheir initial statement the day of (or after) the action at the RAF base was something like: "disabled aircraft using paint and crowbars" Which even if they didn't use crowbars, then would seem to require the turbines be inspected for alignment and physical damage.
- happymellon 10mo ago> disabled aircraft using paint and crowbars Is that "terror"? Besides, why not prosecute them for their actions, why proscribe the organisation as a terrorist one, while at the same time ignoring groups who commit much more violent offenses (such as the one given) and concentrate on prosecuting "personal responsibility"?
- LorenPechtel 10mo agoBecause if you stir up enough hate some will act on it. You can't hope to control stuff like this by personal responsibility.
- happymellon 10mo agoI don't know what you are trying to say here. Is that for or against the governments hypocritical position? > why proscribe the organisation as a terrorist one, while at the same time ignoring groups who commit much more violent offenses You seem to completely ignore this.
