So, we seem to have yet again redefined "terrorist". It now means: causes embarrassment to government. Heh, well.. related to some one who causes embarrassment

Mind you, just read another article(1) about an undercover policeman gathering dossier evidence on "troublemakers" for an employment agency black list. Put that together with mass data collection, and hopefully Mr Nothing To Hide will realize that, yes, he might well have something to hide.
The troublemakers, you ask? Oh yeah, the evil terrorist organisation known as: Youth Against Racism... (Yeah, that was sarcasm.)
I see another really scary phrase there too: "politically dangerous". If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does any more.

- pekk 13y agoBritish law has problems. Among them is the breadth of the Terrorism Act. But I don't presume that this means that the UK declared this person a terrorist.
- tlrobinson 13y agoWho cares if they "declare" him a terrorist or not? They're using a law supposedly intended to help catch terrorists to punish someone who is very clearly not a terrorist.
