keep punching joe posted:Anyway totally normal and cool that the right-wing want to get back into the colonisation game. Lucky for the rest of the world that our armed forces are a shambolic mess. Hey, at least this is just them settling on a place where British citizens live (and nobody else is stupid enough to). Most of what makes colonisation objectionable is when it involves ethnic cleansing.

keep punching joe posted:He's just following direct orders from his MI5 handler. Pretty sure that the former head of the DPP doesn't need a handler. OK, OK, has not been given a handler. It's pretty clear at this point that he needs more adult supervision than he's presently receiving.

The lithium thing, "arrest yourselves, it'll help somehow!", falling off the media when hallam and the German spooks left, pro cop/landlord and anti-leftist, attempting to coup and defang the climate strike, all of it. Guess who the founder of Insulate Britain is?

Amess is a prominent Eurosceptic and opponent of LGBT rights. Could be to do with either of those, could be to do with broader government policy, could be to do with a personal matter.

Yup, it's confirmed to be a murder now. Main news outlets are all popping off notifications.

keep punching joe posted:You missed out that chud militia who were planning to kidnap and execute the state governer because she wanted to to a Covid lockdown. A healthy social contract is one where the government don't fear for their lives because of their citizens, and the citizens don't fear for their lives from their government. Unfortunately, that particular Rubicon is pretty thoroughly crossed in the UK.

a pipe smoking dog posted:Well they've already said he'd been reported to prevent previously so he was almost certainly on some MI5 watch list and they've once again massively hosed up because they were too busy helping the police infiltrate an environment campaign group. Eh, being reported to Prevent basically just means that he's black (and possibly lived in a terraced house). Let's not be too hasty in bigging up the credibility of a system that mainly exists as a tool of racist persecution.

Lungboy posted:The snippets of news I've seen on the killing say the chap had been reported to Prevent but wasn't an active MI5 person of interest. God only knows of that's true or not. Being reported to Prevent basically just means you're a black British Muslim, though.

Bit weird that we're still playing a guessing game about this guy's motives so long after his arrest (the Sunday Times is bringing up Amess's links to Qatar, of all things). Can't they just ask him? I feel like 90% of the reasons for murdering a sitting MP are ones that the perpetrator would be happy to chat about if given the chance.

Alctel posted:Amess used to be my MP when I lived in Southend, and he actually was a really decent constituency MP. OTOH, the GRT folks in his constituency don't seem to have a nice word to say about him. His kindness was somewhat narrow and selective even amongst the people he personally interacted with.

an_mutt posted:Hey everyone, I've not really been paying attention to the recent Trans debates over the past couple years (mainly because it's all so loving depressing living on TERF Island, and I largely checked out of anything UK Politics-related after the 2019 election), but the recent BBC nonsense and a gross experience at Uni has motivated me to get up to speed on what's been happening. I'm currently studying a PGCE course and was half-listening in on a couple women in my class having a talk about the aforementioned BBC podcast, and how "good" and "important" it was, etc. etc. I eventually asked if it was a takedown of the LGB Alliance (because I didn't know the content of the podcast series, and they were talking about hateful homophobic aspects of the organisation that was the subject of the series, it being dangerous for homosexuals, and so on), but they told me that it was for Stonewall and that "the LGB Alliance was doing some really great stuff". I know that this is patently a load of poo poo, as I seem to recall articles coming out when the LGB Alliance was first rising to prominence which showed how nakedly 'Funded by Right-Wing Fundamentalist Agitators' it was, and how clearly it was set up to erode LGBTQ+ rights, but now that I'm doing a bit of googling to learn more about it I'm seeing absolutely nothing but fawning articles about how cool and good it is as an organisation and how Stonewall is so evil. Is there a good starting point to actually learn more about all this, and what's actually happened in the last 2-3 years? I saw that they're now a loving registered charity (!?); I feel like I'm losing my mind over the recent coverage and how blatantly one-sided it is, and how easily it feels like the LGB Alliance has covered its recent history. They show up multiple times in this thread, boosting an antisemitic conspiracy theorist 'researcher' who uses overt neo-Nazis as sources: https://twitter.com/christapeterso/status/1399849561301131265?s=21 An example: https://twitter.com/christapeterso/status/1368964015695667203?s=21
