Arson is a serious, serious offence. Not downgrading it. But this IS more than arson, and has been more than arson on other occasions.
The starters know their aims and those aims are terrorism of an entire Nation, politically motivated, in a highly volatile climate.
Political terrorism perhaps designed to advance a false narrative of 'global warming' but certainly done to keep the public fearful and traumatised.
More than arson and courts should recognise the extra ingredients. This crap has to be stopped. Sentencing must reflect the extra ingredients.
