I really think we need to distinguish between terrorism in the sense of “are they going to keep blowing people up?” and “terrorism” in the sense of “are my taxes going to go up because of this?” I feel like the word is being stretched for the second example…
Yeah what they did was excessive vandalism. Not terrorism not unless it's the first move in a long strategy although if it is, it's a pretty dumb one since they've all been arrested.
I would imagine that an incompetent barrister wouldn't have much difficulty arguing that actively sabotaging military equipment is, and has been for centuries, treason against the crown.
Not terrorism then
