It's black and white they were arrested for being a member of that group.

But the crap before it:


If these individuals were not concerned in the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism, why was they arrested under that suspicion?

Alright this mob might have a nasty core compared to most but it's like saying all BNP supporters should be arrested under terrorism charges because of some of the hardcore members views. A few bad eggs in UKIP...arrest them all and call them terrorists in all the headlines.

When you start arresting people willy nilly with terrorist laws claiming they are going to commit offences when it's nothing of the sort, you normalise the word and effect and it begins to mean nothing.

Of course this is going by the stupid wording of the address by the police and given to the media so they can run with their clickbait headlines.

The BNP and UKIP aren't illegal. If these guys were simply members of those parties they wouldn't have been arrested. They've been arrested for being members of an illegal group, nothing else it appears so far.
