No knowledge at all is better than a little knowledge & have been many examples of this in past 24 hrs.
Judge did not decide "it was terrorism".
"Terrorist connection" was an aggravating factor for the purpose of sentencing.
That is how sentencing works - aggravating & mitigating
You can vehemently disagree with Palestine Action activists goals, whilst simultaneously be horrified a judge can decide AFTER a conviction if it was terrorism related amd double a sentence.
Being able to class an offense as terrorism AFTER conviction without charging them with terrorism should bother everyone.
Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied.
So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc.
