Doesn't sound like a protest action like that. The previous one had more people, not just five guys in a van. Evacuations and EOD are more likely to be legit than a cover for special counterprotest operations.

Bruh, the UK government has labeled the previous guy terrorists over some paint. You think they won't again? It's illegal to have paint within 10 miles of a military base now. 😂😂😂

Probably how it should work but frequently not how it actually does work.

Speaking of how things should work - yeah, I have always understood the word "terrorism" to mean "attacking civilians in the hopes of terrorizing them into demanding their government change policies," so yeah, attacking a military base shouldn't be called terrorism, it's espionage or something like that, but national security type people have done a lot of sloppy thinking over the last twenty five years and journalists still treat them like experts, so here we are.
