If throwing a can of paint is the same as throwing a bomb then why not throw bombs? Seems like a dumb thing for a government to promote...

Kill thousands of Palestinian children, including by picking infants up by the ankle and swinging them hard as you can into brick walls, and impaling pregnant women through the stomach and leaving them to die in the dirt?
You're a "settler."
Throw paint at something to protest that?
You're a "terrorist."
The British government paved the way for those settlers, don't forget. They assumed control of the land, kicked out the natives and beckoned for all the Israelites to enter, who, obviously, started murdering anyone still in Palestine. This chapter of their cruelty started in 1948 and Britain's government, who has always been a piece of shit, made it so.
Ah yes, nothing screams terrorism like... paint.
It’s vandalism. It’s property damage. It’s rude as fuck. But it’s not terrorism. Trying Americans for protests calling it terrorism is a form of terrorism.

There are no Americans involved in this story...
They also called paint £200k in damage. And broken windows £500k. Just utterly insane figures to inflate the seriousness of what's just basic vandalism of a building.
In Italy, when we occupied the high school against the Berlusconi government, we were asked for one € each for one pane of glass broken.
That made for an extremely expensive glass since we were around 1000 in the institute and it was 2002.
Of course, the Dean pocketed more vaffanculos than coins.
The UK has successfully watered down terrorism to mean "petty crime"
Labour has paved the way for Reform to go full fascist.
We really live in a country where terrorism means anything that the government wants, Huh.
If by "we" you mean people in the UK, yes.
This article is about the UK. That's why it's talking about "Barclays bank," "Preston Crown Court," listed damages in £, etc.
Where is the terror exactly? That's prevarication. Anyone judging paintings as terrorism should be put to jail.
If something that should at worst be called vandalism is considered terrorism what's preventing activists from just doing actual terrorism?
violence is the anwser, not spray paint, you'll be designated as a terrorist either way so you have nothing to lose.
You start
Oh nooo... PAINT!!! What utter terror...
In the UK the state can deprive a person of their UK citizenship when they are labeled a terrorist by the state. Guess what will happen next to these people.
Craven, servile authorities with no morals or balls might be able to stop people finding ways to voice their horror at the fact gutless IDF fuckholes mass murder Palestinian babies and children, but they'll never stop people knowing Netanyahu's an inhuman cunt, who deserves to be thrown into a deep, deep pit for the rest of his life, for ordering it.
My friends in America wonder why I don't move back to the UK, and I always tell them, same shit different weather.
literal whole buildings for entire blocks have graffiti and random crap in places all around the world. Spray paint clearly isn't good enough.
I don't think anyone's been terrorised by this creative painting social exhibition. Hell, I'm sure some employees of the bank enjoyed it as well.
If the penalty is so steep for minor offenses, they will encourage real terror. Why wouldn’t the next ones just blow up the bank if they’re going be charged as terrorists regardless? It’s not a charge you ever recover from.
Anyone who finds spray paint on a bank more terrifying than the Arms Manufacturing Industry is a fucking psychopath.
They should have to prove terror has been caused to a considerable part of the population.
