The difference is that religious extremism has always been open to almost anyone who wants to convert. Anyway, the emergence of black neo-Nazis is all downstream of the fact that the violent extremist tunnel is now online, not off.

If you make reference to a “left-leaning elite”, you either don’t understand who the elite are, or you are deliberately trying to cover it up.

Look, I have serious misgivings about Labour’s economic policies but the idea that after only 5 months in power after 14 years of friggin’ Tory thievery & destruction there would be some massive bounce is for the fairies

To do so via lies, distortion, obfuscation & deceit, without any plan or hope of success.
