I would call this actively trying to incite an anti-immigrant pogrom at a white nationalist rally organized by a violent felon, but I suppose there are people out there for whom this is simply a case of "Doing politics right"
Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

When I was in Malaysian Borneo 22 years ago, there was already little unlogged forest left. Much of Sarawak comprised logging concessions owned/controlled by government friends & family. Protesters, incl. foreign journalists, were jailed. Things haven't improved. www.savebaramforest.org/en/petition/
Save the Baram Forest from logging!

Monbiot on point as usual. Needless to say, money exchanges are involved.
It seems clear UK gov is acting against its own 1949 act of parliament & UN's Genocide Convention. Yet anyone acting in support of what the UN (of which UK is founding member) has stated are victims of Genocide, risks prison.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.

I really would like some context for this. Do we really need advice on packaging for what foods are rectally advisable? Come to that, why would your doctor allow you to put food up their anus anyway?
