  1. Yeah, it sounds like the correct charge, tbf.

    Shame for them that their plan was a total disaster.

  2. I wonder if anyone with legal expertise can answer a question I have about this:

    If these people weren’t charged under the terrorism act for using a vehicle in this way, would that be likely to weaken future cases where groups used a vehicle in a similar, or other ways, such as running a vehicle into a group of people ?

    i.e. would it set a precedent, that using vehicles as implements in political actions is just “careless driving” rather than a more serious charge ?

  5. * Climbing over an unprotected wooden fence and spilling some paint on a refuelling plane in opposition to the genocide and murder of innocent bairns? Terrorist. Jailed.
    * Breaking a chain fence with a car in opposition to the genocide and murder of innocent bairns? Terrorist. Jailed.
    * Sticking a poster up on your window in opposition to the genocide and murder of innocent bairns? Terrorist supporter. Jailed.
    * Wearing a tee shirt in opposition to the genocide and murder of innocent bairns? Terrorist supporter. Jailed.
    * Displaying a sign in opposition to the genocide and murder of innocent bairns? Terrorist supporter. Jailed.
    * Recklessly endangering the lives of **19,000** people, including 100’s of MOD personnel through a massive data breach which impacts National Security whilst spending over **£850 Million**? Oh. That’s fine. You are a rich Unionist. Nothing to see here. Next. Now. Why is the font on that ~~sign~~ billboard so large?!

    Private Eye could not pen better, and more worrying, satire.

  7. 100% guaranteed they will be private school trust fund kids. It always is.

    Anyway, yeah – FAFO, and they are very much in the FO stage right now.

  9. Do stupid things (purposely), suffer the consequences.
