It does feel to me like “Why is Britain facilitating a genocide that’s being imposed by a child sex criminal, just because he’s America’s emperor” is going to be problematic, historically.

Davies, Heffer and Redwood being three of Britain’s most spectacular shit-up-wall crackpots, by the way. How do you like your legislature: bent as fuck or racist and deranged? Well, why not both

Again, this was sold to the public as a way to bring down prices and increase efficiency, and what it’s done instead is create the kind of absurd fraud and disaster you would read about two hundred years from now, on a glitching computer screen in a bombed-out corporate HQ in the Capital Wasteland.

10 years of non-stop, all channels pissing and shitting about free speech and this is where we've ended up.
Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

If you're going insist that certain groups are going to have to accept a "reduction in their rights" then you're going to have accept the reaction you get to that may not necessarily come in the form of polite letter writing and debate.
