Britain is turning into a country that can't tell its terrorists from its journalists

Terrorist
Origin: late 18th century: from French terroriste, from Latin terror (see terror). The word was originally applied to supporters of the Jacobins in the French Revolution, who advocated repression and violence in pursuit of the principles of democracy and equality.

The word, in its politically charged form, convenient to the wielder, has been around for a very long time.
