Here's a question for you:
When do the deceived become the wilfully ignorant?
I have seen many otherwise decent people become far right extremists in their thinking. Is it all algorithms and dopamine hits from GBNews? What's going on?

You know we're in trouble when the police are busting the Quakers
UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action.
The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️
