    Nah, Labeling them as “terrorists” is disproportionate.

    Criminals, yes. Terrorists, no.

    The definition of terrorism under british law can apply to basically any protest group and if applied retroactively would drag things like the suffragette movement under the umbrella of terrorism.

    This move is an assault on all of our freedom of speech
