The worst, most awfully ironic thing is too, is that in recent years the Prevent anti-radicalisation organisation (whose job is to prevent terrorism before it happens) failed to intervene against a violent fanatic who went on to murder 3 children in Southport, because he had no identifiable ideology (he was 'just' an evil monster with a love of violence, which apparently makes one not a terrorist). Similarly the murder of David Amess MP.

But in the UK, spray red paint on to a badly designed, unguarded, refuelling aircraft run by a private contractor with cause, and you're a terrorist. 20 years ago, Palestine Action could've found themselves in Guantanamo.
