Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

Yes, this was always the plan; all the po-faced politicians finger-wagging you about the two-state solution fully understood it was bullshit, and that the actual goal was “get rid of the Palestinians by any means necessary”.

Funny isn't it that all the people tone policing protests against genocide never say "you should follow my example of protesting genocide the correct way."

I don’t use these phrases myself, as you’ll have noticed. But I am here to tell you that if we could impose an effective blanket ban on use of any particular phrases and symbols, then this bullshit would instantly shift to different phrases and symbols at exactly the same intensity.

The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Harman explaining that actually, horrible migrant crackdowns are left wing politics and if you - a white person - don’t like it, then you are actively harming people from ethnic minorities. An outrageous insult to the public’s intelligence IMO, offhandedly dropping a dog turd onto your dinner plate.
