Being sentenced for a terrorism offence when you were actually charged (and found guilty by a jury) with causing criminal damage (not with "terrorism") does seem to make the judge guilty, indeed obviously guilty, of exceeding his powers, since it is for the jury to establish guilt, not for the judge. And the jury had been asked about "criminal damage", not about "terrorism".
“This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property"
Sigh.
Will Keyte sums it up in a few pertinent lines. Do we have a lot of dismantling of power structures to do?
NB: We are supposedly a Christian country. Maybe we should heed the advice of Jesus as recorded for us in the Bible.
How difficult is this? That's right - it's so simple it will never catch on, or so our politicians hope ...
