‘Thuggish Activists’ is a funny thing to call Terrorists.
Disrupting the operation of a port in the UK is a terroristic act, doing so in an organised way with violence is absolutely terrorism.
I guess the term ‘terrorist’ is reserved for grannies who think genocide is bad.

They made a specific law for disrupting "key national infrastructure", but only seem to use it on people blockading arms factories and protesting in parliament square.
