MI5 chief warns far-right extremists increasingly likely to plan terror attacks
Original: Are you guys still calling them 'Activists' and defending their right to terrorise minorities? https://www. theguardian.
The head of MI5 says rightwing extremists in the UK are increasingly likely to consider carrying out terrorist attacks, according to a Guardian report. The warning has reignited criticism of how far-right actors are labelled, with many arguing they should be treated as terrorists rather than activists, particularly given the threat they pose to minority communities.
Why now: MI5's public warning about the growing far-right terror threat has prompted debate over media and political framing of extremist violence against minorities.
