Attack is a strong word for throwing a can of paint.

After the 2024 riots there were mass arrests and prosecution, but only talk about reviewing groups as to whether they should be proscribed.

Why does a member throwing a can of paint get you classed as a terrorist organisation, while organising riots that involve throwing molotov's and causing serious injury not?

Their initial statement the day of (or after) the action at the RAF base was something like:

  "disabled aircraft using paint and crowbars"
Which even if they didn't use crowbars, then would seem to require the turbines be inspected for alignment and physical damage.
