Terrorism is a crime of motive. Axel Rudakubana's motive was that he wanted to kill as many people as possible, and he thought a Taylor Swift dance workshop would be a great place to find the weakest people possible, who couldn't stop him.
That's horrific, and he fully deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life, but part of the legal definition in the UK is that terrorism must be an action that pursues a political, religious, racial, or ideological cause. Rudakubana didn't have any cause like that; he just wanted to bathe in blood.
We could rewrite the laws and extend the definition of terrorism, sure, but if terrorism just becomes synonymous with any violence, why even have the word anymore? We already have names for violent crimes.

Mindreader?
No, months of interviews with detectives and forensic psychologists, who then reported their findings to the press.
months of interviews with UK police who have for 50 years searched for any reason to ignore and downplay muslim crimes?
THAT’s literally the source you trust.
The same source that called him a Welsh Choirboy, that refused to publish that he had an Al Queada manual and Ricin?
edit: and the same police that was busy attending a gay pride march when the stabbings happened
So far since he's been on this board I've only seen him whine about Christianity and spew apologetics for mohammadans and pedophiles.
