Their 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.


> 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"?


Because if you stir up enough hate some will act on it. You can't hope to control stuff like this by personal responsibility.


I 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.
