Yep - there's a lot more political value in shouting about it and starting a culture war than in the pesky and unpleasant business of having people actually carry it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2023 Here are some more of Suella Braverman's thin blue line, desperately chasing people down in the hope of persuading them that they've been offended enough to enable them to enforce her ridiculous laws. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2023 They've guaranteed that a Palestine protest is now going to go ahead on Sunday in London by making such a big deal about out. Well done Suella. Mission accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also guaranteed that there'll be a response from the Tommy Robinson morons who will go, with the goals of causing as much trouble as possible and being racist, whilst pretending they're protecting English white people. She's directly responsible for any confrontation on what should be a sombre day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be funny if it wasn't a really serious and worrying step in the wrong direction. Conceived of by psychopaths and sociopaths. Enabled by sychophants and fools. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History tells us that any new law in relation to civil liberties will be abused and usually quite quickly as the boundaries are tested until there is some form of push back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always indulge in some pre emptive arrests for future crimes, like they did at the coronation. That does of course set up its own problems. Do they arrest the excitable student shouting ‘free free palestine’, or do they arrest the quiet guy in a black jacket and jeans with a swastika neck tattoo, stood quietly in a side street with a union flag? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparently a cabal that includes Michael Gove that has been running the Tory Party for over 20 years even though Gove hasn't been an MP for the whole of that time. Not only that but if Gove is in the cabal that runs the Tory Party, how come both his attempts at leading the party failed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously she's nuts and he isn't an all-powerful mastermind controlling things, but I think that's who she's talking about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly fit the profile of what I saw of him in my student days. He was an absolute arsehole when he was running with the FCS libertarian wing But I still think its a character "based on" rather than any reality the rest of us might recognise EDIT: Also Mad Nad names Dougie Smith as part of the cabal, she's claiming Dr No is someone different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Just as a point of order there I don’t think the word cabal can be used in isolation, I think it needs ‘shadowy’ to be used as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This relates to the marches at the weekend. Rishi thinks the police should ban the Palestine march but the met chief does not believe it meets the threshold for such an order. Mark Rowley has been “summoned” to number 10 to explain. I’d love him to decline it as he already has a meeting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be loads of people with sympathy for the Palestinian cause that also want to pay respect for Remembrence Sunday. This just seems like it wants to drive a wedge between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is Armistice Day, Sunday is Remembrance Sunday. So on Armistice Day, people will be marching and calling for a ceasefire, can you think of a more appropriate day to do it? 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
