It doesn't appear to fit with any of the CPS definitions of terrorism.

Not up to you to decide - is it? You support these people then?

Ah yes, that's how it works. Look at the definitions and give your honest opinion, does spraying two planes with fire extinguishers fit any of them?

It’s a military establishment - any country would consider that an action against the government

I mean you’re not wrong to be fair.
I wouldn’t expect Starmer or Cooper to follow anything written in law for example.
Like most of our policy decisions in the Middle East, they will simply take the lead from whichever ‘lobbying interest’ insists on a course of action.

Anyone else remember the aircraft spotters who got arrested in Greece for taking photos near an airbase?

Trump’s strike on Iran has exposed Britain’s enemy within

Blair’s Iraq invasion was a tragic error, and he’s mad to deny it
We cannot make the case for engagement unless we are honest about our failures

No it’s a massive issue and has to be severely punished - I would define it as a terrorist act yes and looking at the news a lot of this group seem worried and hopefully will they will start to grow up and behave

Which of the CPS definitions has it met in your view?

Don't expect it's easy to watch your people being blasted to pieces and starved. Hardly a shock that a group would try a stunt like this even if it's just to try and keep Gaza in the news cycle. What would the grown up approach be?

The message is loud and clear. You have no right to protest decisions of the government. Just Stop Oil, Palestine Action. Who's next?

Well Netanyahu has an international arrest warrant on him for crimes against humanity and war crimes, so you support a war criminal?
Are you going to alert the authorities? They have a backlog of forum-related cases at the moment just fyi

Seen more outrage about the spraying of some planes than any of the action against Ukraine

Palestinian Action also said they had damaged the engines with crowbars. Various news sources stating the damage could be between 30&55 million pounds. That would seem to fit the serious damage to property and arguable endangering the lives of this flying or travelling in the planes.

I expect them to be arrested, charged and prosecuted under the laws of the land that have been perfectly adequate for decades. Don't see any need to declare protests terrorist activity.

Says he doesn't think "they'll be shooting at each other ever again". Delusional.
"An out-of-context clip from a 2008 interview with then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is circulating on Facebook. It shows her saying the U.S. “will attack Iran” if she becomes president.
But she was responding to a question about a hypothetical nuclear attack by Iran on Israel."

I've no time for either Iran or Israel, at least in terms of their governments.
I think what the American action confirms though, as if we didn't know it already, is that the idea of some kind of international rules-based order is ancient history.
I somehow doubt that this will lead to less countries wanting nuclear weapons.
Nothing about this whole shit show, provoked primarily to keep one man, Netanyahu, in power, makes the world safer. Entirely the opposite, in fact.

Sooner he’s out and there’s also regime change in Iran the better. Still hoping we can stay out of the mess over there though

Don't think world leaders actually respect him much. Iran, Israel, Russia, China all seem to think they can string him along without making changes Trump "asks" for. He's still the antithesis for most EU Govts.
most African countries still going to lean towards Russia and/or China because those 2 aren't concerned about how the leadership got into power or hold onto it. They'll buy influence where they can.

The issue in Iran is that there is no obvious regime waiting in the wings to replace the current one. The last democratically elected leader was couped by the West 70 years ago.

Typical politicians trick bring in a new but essentially pointless offense that is already covered by existing law to prove they are doing something.

No, Israel has said they did which Iran has denied.
