It is no wonder the Home Secretary Amber Rudd is having
trouble pardoning the convictions of Suffragettes. Many of the actions they took in desperation
to advance their cause can accurately be described as terrorism. Such actions included arson and even an
attempt to burn down former PM David Lloyd-George's house. Maybe this would give us good cause to move
away from the tired narrative of saying all "terrorists" are
evil. We should be frank that those who
fight for their rights have some courage and should be respected. While those who cause violence for it's own
sake or to oppress others should be vilified.
