Southport stabbings. They said, "This is not terrorism."

That's certainly what the fascists want us to think, but I have my doubts, what with not being one. Perhaps time will tell, but by then they won't care anymore.

Anyway, what do you think about the idea of a dedicated forum? Seems fair to me.

So, everyone who has a different opinion than you is a 'fascist'?

Karen, is that you?

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Nucking futs.

The govt lied right from the very beginning and gaslit the people of the UK. End of.

Not shouting off your mouth, before the full facts have been established, doesn’t yet count as lying in the UK.

How about 'the police have ruled out terrorism'. When they found an al-Qaeda manual and ricin at his address? Does that count as lying?
