And then Jereby Crumbin tried to personally murder every Jew on these islands, screaming that the worst thing Oliver Cromwell ever did was overturn King Edward's Edict of Expulsion all the while.

Goes to show just how antisemetic he is, when he was committed enough to the IRA cause that he masterminded the Mountbatten assassination.

Yeah the government might slightly be overreaching in its plan to criminalise the act of protest so I'm basically settled into the idea of picking up some scars and a record over the next few years no matter what.

this is an admiral and potentially simply realist thing to think, and I may be misjudging you here, but don’t become a martyr. I know a lot of people who’ve been quite gung-ho until their first violent police encounter/arrest, and it suddenly gets very real when that happens. Arrests and state suppression are a part of being an activists but please do take all precautions you can and practice tight security culture. whether you leave your phone home or take it ‘cos it’ll probably be fine’ can easily be the difference between a night in the cells and a couple of years in prison. Again you strike me as a good and sensible comrade but I always feel obligated to say this whenever this sentiment comes up. Make sacrifices but make the right ones, and make sure anything that doesn’t need to be a sacrifice isn’t one.

also to your point on ecology and fascism: don’t underestimate the green fash movement. things the the hundred handers are super dangerous and ecological rhetoric is not only intrinsic to fascism but very popular in the most dangerous movements about right now. the average EDL goon might not have given a poo poo but your average Patriotic Alternative member definitely does.

I think you've got the cause and effect mixed up. The Labour Right were looking for a way to self immolate and that loving mural finally gave them the spark

Ooh, I've just thought of a great new excuse!

"It would be wrong to do well in these elections at a time when the Covid crisis is still persisting. Therefore, Labour have made the patriotic choice to lose on purpose, so as not to distract the government from it's very important task of overseeing our return to normality."

I do like the national unity excuse to this. Also implicitly reinforcing that it is labour's role to lose and to be the ones to always concede.

Is there a list of the corbyn smears that were tried before settling on antisemitism? Off the top of my head, I recall:

-corbyn is too poorly dressed to be in parliament
-corbyn is an agent of the IRA/corbyn helped assassinate mountbatten
-corbyn was an agent of the czech intelligence service during the soviet era
-corbyn did a hit and run on a pedestrian
-corbyn will send all tory voters to reeducation camps

Whenever Meghan Markle news comes up, I’m reminded of whoever pointed out that people were terrified her kids might resemble her more than her in-laws. There’s a lot of ways to illustrate how insanely racist the UK are, but that may be the most succinct.

(Yes, “Brexit” is only a single word, but that requires the listener to have an understanding of just how stupid it actually is)
