According to Sky News:

UK Courts minister Heidi Alexander said that recent attempts by 'far-right' protestors to set a Holiday Inn Express hotel alight that is housing asylum seekers qualifies as terrorism.

Trying to set ablaze a building with people inside, whom you have made clear you detest, is an act of violence against people and property with a racial cause designed to intimidate a section of the public - be it Muslims or asylum seekers.

Not only does it fit the definition of terrorism, it is terrorism.

It's nothing short of an attempt at a modern-day lynching and the people who did it should be facing life imprisonment, not a five-year sentence for violent disorder.

Odd then that here were not the same cries of terrorism in the UK MSM when 'far-right' protestors (Pravy Sektor) in the Ukraine actually did incinerate over 40 pro-Russian supporters in the Soviet Trades Union building in Odessa, as reported by the BBC on 06 May 2014.

There were no calls then for these 'terrorists' to be prosecuted and given life imprisonment and no-one has been prosecuted since despite the real deaths that occurred when people were burned to death or died jumping from windows.

But they were only Russian sympathizers right?

Not Muslims or asylum seekers. So that's alright then.
