A new "low" for British justice system.
This decision sets a dangerous precendent, and should immediately be appealed by Crown.
If said decision stands, "lawful excuse" defense can be used to justify just about any crime committed in U.K.
At the very least, EDO should sue 7 vandals for damages in civil court.

Fairly sickening verdict, even by Britain's rapidly declining moral standards. Even most liberal-leaning Canadian judges are no where near as biased towards one side in a trial as this awful British one clearly was in this particular case.

Woo, I see British companies trying to outsource their factories after this.
