My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

The juxtaposition of the first and last sentence of this paragraph is art

"For this movie to make any sense at all, one has to believe the United States, today, right now, is a fascist dictatorship, wrote David Marcus at Fox News, under a headline that dubbed the film an "ill-timed apologia for left-wing violence."

Back in the real world of things that are actually happening now, it is Labour who are doing a great job of enabling Reform

I won't link to X but in the full clip of Cleverly re Gaza protests, he goes on to basically say "There's no need for protests, we can all see what's happening in Gaza on TV"

How will Reform use it when Labour deliver a Reform government?

Which they knew would happen 100+ years ago. The inherent dangers of Zionism that diaspora Jews foretold. Even the Board of Deputies opposed the Balfour Declaration for this reason
