Anyway, the damage to the planes wasn't terrorism, it was criminal damage. I'd say they did the government a favour by showing them how embarassingly easy it was to break into a military base and commit a crime so serious that the government supposedly views as terrorism. " Real terrorists " would have had the chance to blow up all the planes and probably wipe out half the garrison.
However you look at it, its making Starmer and his cronies look like a bunch of amateurish fools. But that's something he seems to revel in.
