Everyone gets their fifteen minutes of being a terrorist
You see, this is the problem with legislation built by people who don’t know very much about making law. The Terrorism Act of 2000, taken at its word, strongly suggests that fuel protesters, and anyone who justifies or condones their behaviour, are terrorists.
Actually, my presumption that the Act is poorly designed might not actually be true. It may well have been the governments intention to word the act in such a way that allows them to pick and choose who the terrorists are from day to day.
