The last Government criminalised protest, so the line between that and general criminality no longer holds. The present Government has no plan to repeal that ban, so it is now even more at fault.
But nor has it any plan to repeal the equally egregious power of the Home Secretary to revoke British citizenship. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is not merely eligible for another nationality, he already holds it. As a fugitive from British justice, he is an asylum-seeker in Tenerife or wherever it is that he has washed up. Yvette Cooper, over to you.
She wouldn’t dare. There’d be blood on the streets if our leftwing government tried to ban Tommy Robinson. The current protests would be as nothing to what would happen then and she knows it.
ReplyDeleteThere already is. Belonging to the Police. You get none of that from the people who march for a ceasefire in Gaza.
DeleteBut some of these latest events have dispersed when it has rained. Cooper is talking about the Army. A couple of shots in the air and this lot will run away crying. Perhaps to Tenerife.
As Gerry used to say, ‘I condemn all violence, but …’.
ReplyDeleteYaxley-Lennon does not even say that.
DeleteNo, we,ve gone beyond NI in one week ...
ReplyDeleteWe are nowhere near that.
DeleteIs the toolmaker going to send in the B Specials? It’s 1969, tonight.
ReplyDeleteSome sort of Special Forces deployment would not be out of order. A short, sharp shock.
DeleteIt will be 1972 as soon as the first rioter is killed.
ReplyDeleteThe killing of a Police Officer is far more likely.
DeleteThe Manchester and Salford Yeomanry are keen of another outing.
ReplyDeleteCommunities are now organising to defend themselves.
DeleteIf a rioter is killed, a terrible beauty is liable to be born.
ReplyDeleteThey are not the people likely to be killed.
DeleteThis is nothing compared to the anti migration riots we’ve seen in Europe, from France to Italy and from Germany to Ireland. If Europe’s elites fail to get the message on immigration it’s going to get much worse.
ReplyDeleteReal civil wars produce giant figures, not Keir Starmer and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
