Literally in the legal definition in the Terrorism Act:
(2) Action falls within this subsection if it:
- involves serious violence against a person
- involves serious damage to property
- endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action
- creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public
- is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system
Also, poor people in London don't generally own cars. Driving is not an efficient way to get around London and it's a luxury.
This is a tax on those better-off Londoners who do drive, and who drive older polluting cars - or who live outside London but drive their older polluting cars into London - to protect air quality for poor Londoners who don't drive but do suffer from the consequences of cars.
Also there's a massive scrappage scheme so that minority of poor Londoners who do drive - and who happen to old a petrol car that's almost old enough to vote - can get thousands of pounds of government money towards a new one.
So you're talking bullshit.

An explosive being used to cause serious damage to property in order to “influence a government” is terrorism under the Terrorist Act. This is a leopards ate my face moment for those who thought it would only apply to brown people.
