Well it did use the word “already”, so if reasonable guarantees can be given, let’s go with justice.

Bristol Post says:
I'd expect lighting an occupied van to get arson with intent or recklessness, which doesn't seem to have been the charge here.

Useful summary of whats up
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 [PCSC] came into effect on 28th April after passing through Parliament. It gives more powers to the police to restrict protests, allowing senior police officers to give directions and impose conditions on those organising or taking part in them that the police decide are necessary to prevent disorder, damage, disruption, noise impact or intimidation. These can include imposing starting and ending times. It gives the Home Secretary the power to impose restrictions on protests without reference to Parliament and the common law offence of “causing a public nuisance” becomes a criminal offence, carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years.
However some more draconian attacks on the right to protest in this bill were removed from the Act after being twice voted down in the House of Lords.
Not to be thwarted, the Government’s reaction was to introduce a fresh Public Order Bill [PA] to Parliament on 11th May. This has been passed by the Commons and is currently before the House of Lords. This Bill not only reintroduces many measures from the PCSC Act rejected by the Lords, but adds new ones, particularly aimed at the sort of demonstrations carried out by climate activists.
The measures removed from PCSC in the Lords and reinstated in the PA include giving the police the power to make orders to ban named individuals from joining protests, and an expansion of police powers of stop-and-search, so they can perform them on the grounds that they consider a person might commit a protest-related offence, including some new such offences introduced in the PA Bill, such as people “locking-on” by attaching themselves to immovable objects or each other by chains or glue, going equipped to lock-on, obstructing major transport routes and interfering with key national infrastructure and tunnelling.
And under the Bill if you attend or support a demonstration that causes “serious disruption” (including its making too much noise) to two or more individuals or an organisation you can be forced to wear an electronic tag to monitor your movements.
