Okay that was worth it

There's a lot more. There's a BBC clip that's on the website which hasn't made its way to the dead bird site yet

e: He's a literal poo poo sponge. He's the person who the Tories send out to soak up all the poo poo that's being thrown at them, but he doesn't have the humiliation fetish glint in his eye that someone like Truss has. He looks genuinely pained and uncomfortable. It's beautiful to watch

Gove is now listing organisations he says are a cause for concern under the new extremism definition.

They are:

- British National Socialist Movement
- Patriotic Alternative
- Muslim Association of Britain - the British affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood
- Cage
- MEND

"We will be holding these, and other organisations, to account to assess if they meet our definition of extremism and will take action as appropriate," Gove says

Cage? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_(organisation)....

quote:

Cage is a London-based advocacy organisation which aims to empower communities impacted by the War on Terror. Cage highlights and campaigns against state policies, developed as part of the War on Terror. The organisation was formed to raise awareness of the plight of detainees held at Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere and has worked closely with former detainees held by the United States and campaigns on behalf of current detainees held without trial.

I was pretty sure this was partly Starmer's doing.



I was just imagining the outrage if a donor to Corbyn had said exactly the same about a Jewish MP.
It would have gone on and on for years, and demands for multiple apologies not just from the donor but from Corbyn as well would have been made.

"He said these remarks 5 years ago" one tory has commented. That is just 2019, just 1 year before the first Covid lockdown. I think most of us remember that far back as if it were almost yesterday!

BBC posted:

The new definition will define extremism as "the promotion or advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance, that aims to:

1. negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others; or

2. undermine, overturn or replace the UK's system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights; or

3. intentionally create a permissive environment for others to achieve the results in (1) or (2)."

Groups and individuals labelled extremist will have the right to seek reassessment and submit new evidence to a review.

If they still disagree, they can challenge the government's decision through a judicial review of the decision.

Organisations or individuals added to the list will not be criminalised, unlike terrorist groups.

Alongside the redefinition, a new unit - the Counter-Extremism Centre of Excellence - has been set up, to gather intelligence and identify extremist groups.

Hello, it's me, the UK, sliding further into a fascist dystopia. It's also me, the Conservative party suddenly realising that they might be now classed as an extremist organisation.

I now understand why Patel, bad Enoch and another ex Home Secretary spoke out about the changes....

As for the Counter-Extremism Centre of Excellence... wtf?!

My 4 year old daughter, diagnosed ASD, definitely masks at school. We came in forewarned (as her mum is also autistic and very cognisant of the struggles having had a traumatic time at school in the benighted 80s) and her school have been incredibly helpful in accommodating her needs (reduced hours, chill-out time, ear defenders etc) even though she seems "fine" and happy when she's there.

Reading that thread is simultaneously reassuring (in that I believe we're doing a good job keeping school a minimally traumatic experience for her) and saddening (as non ND mums most likely struggle with knowing what their kids' needs even are let alone expressing them forthrightly to the school SEND personnel).

Have you ever watched that Astrid & Raphaelle series on More 4 (it's a French detective series - Astrid is about 30 years old, works in the criminal records department, is autistic and it's really good at things like wearing headphones, not coping with noise, touching etc, walking slightly oddly. She goes to a 'social skills' group where William who leads it is also autistic and taught her a method of counting beans with different interactions so she can figure out when she needs to take care of herself. It's an excellent series, my favourite by far at the moment. (Friday evenings if you're interested). It's in French with subtitles so I have to actually watch it as my French is not up to following spoken dialogue instead of my usual having my ear pointing at the tv while I am on my laptop).

Also Kaliningrad routinely tests jamming equipment given it's right in the middle of NATO territory and there's nothing we can really do about it without causing a hot war with Russia.
