Hopefully the Musk@men have sobered up after seeing that there are actually consequences to being a racist, violent **** outside of Twxttxr and that the vast majority of people have absolute no tolerance for their views or threats.

Oh tonight my tears are tears of pride for the people who have come out against the far right.
Is the tide turning back to the normal people?
Please say yes.

Fair point - Walthamstow. We don't have much of a skyline to the north.

Or to the east, for that matter.

Anyway, enough about Israel/Palestine.

I've been looking at the Terrorism Act 2000 and here's what it says:

The Terrorism Act 2000 defines terrorism, both in and outside of the UK, as the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

The specific actions included are:

• serious violence against a person;
• serious damage to property;
• endangering a person's life (other than that of the person committing the action);
• creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public; and
• action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

The use or threat of action, as set out above, which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism regardless of whether or not the action is designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public.

Action includes action outside the United Kingdom.

It is important to note that in order to be convicted of a terrorism offence a person doesn't actually have to commit what could be considered a terrorist attack. Planning, assisting and even collecting information on how to commit terrorist acts are all crimes under British terrorism legislation.

Seems like it fits the bill.

• Advancing a political or religious cause
• Designed to influence the government and/or intimidate the public
• Serious damage to property and creating a serious risk to a section of the public

There's something about incitement and encouragement of terrorism in there as well (Musk, Yaxley-Lennon, the editor of The Mail, and many others). Just imagine asking the US Justice Department for Musk's extradition on the grounds of encouragement of terrorism.

More shocking that the **** that slaughtered kids can almost instantly declared ‘not thought to be terror related’ after reading that.

Fair point - Walthamstow. We don't have much of a skyline to the north.

Or to the east, for that matter.

Or generally, to be fair.

We are not fascist. That is why we fought Hitler. That won't change whatever.

Why? There’s nothing that has been released to suggest:

The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
