PSA: STW Socialists and Communists

Good at saying stuff, pretty much useless at actually doing it.

Well that was the point that I was trying to make when I suggested that it could presumably be implemented relatively easily – does it even need any legislation?

My understanding is that the proposal is to simply broaden the definition of “extremist” and apply to already existing “anti-extremist” measures?

Err, I’ve recently joined the secular society (which would put me that list) and went along to my first meeting and lecture on feminism and religious bigotry last weekend. It was a real eyeopener, on how many religious organisations (and we are talking all demonstrations here) obtain charity status having extreme views, some ridiculous others sickening which don’t align with so called British values. These organisations have even been reported to the charities commission and even the police to be told there is nothing that they can do.

“nazi punks **** off”

What a nasty little bigot.

Gob on a stick sums him up

You either die young or live long enough to see people become utter **** – I thought he’d been out of the spotlight since selling butter.

Superb video on mob rule from Led by Donkeys…

Re John Lydon What a massive disappointment, in fact I pity him.

Makes you wonder where PIL’s politics came from, clearly couldn’t have been his?

Guess he saw Brexit and being gammon as a way of getting more butter adverts..

Ernest Belfort Bax was my great great grandfather (on one side) and formed the socialist league with William Morris, which was short lived and became an anarchist group.

Sadly he also had some pretty vile anti feminism views and was championing mens rights in the late 1800s.

Well as a member of The Peoples Republic of Northumbria affilated to the Geordie Popular Front and The Gateshead Resistance…. we will all be in the Gulag by Monday.

oldman – as an exiled Geordie, where do I sign up?

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I’m already on a number of govt ‘extremist’ databases so nowt new. 🤷‍♂️ Every now and again someone at work tells me I need to be security cleared and I have to explain why that might not be a good idea.

“In response, the MAB and Mend have challenged Gove to repeat the allegations without parliamentary privilege so they can sue.”

Can’t stay, I’m late for the daily hate.
