Rejected petition Ban politicians and media describing crimes as "terrorism".

More details

UK Media AND Politicians refer to any crimes committed by opposing ideologies as "terrorism" constantly.

This simple ruse is designed to delegitamize any form of dissent and stops effective discussion about and understanding of these ideologies.

It is nothing but propaganda.

The BBC for instance should not be using this term as it is not impartial. The Police should not use it and neither should politicians.

It should be banned.
