It was bad enough that Thatcher spent so many years provoking Northern Ireland violence when we should have looked for peace.

But if Johnson, who ended the peace with #Brexit lies we already know but he won't admit, sends in military assassins to kill those protesting his lies?
The context for assassins

A reminder lie by lie of how we got here.

I'm sorry, that's incorrect.

A reminder, lie by lie, of how Mr Johnson persuaded himself and half of you that everything was just fine.

Government Sociopathy

The ridiculous spectacle. A right wing press who previously did everything they could to exaggerate Northern Ireland violence...

Now suddenly don't know it exists. Nothing to see here.

Imagine it was Manchester or Birmingham.

Some say Johnson's Northern Ireland has a precedent: Blair in Iraq

1. Flippant & immoral. Does a wrong justify a wrong?

2. We think Blair believed Bush' lies. Johnson wrote his personally

3. We weren't forwarned - Blair hadn't killed innocents with negligent lies about a virus

Anna's point below.
How are they this incompetent?

Before Covid Team Johnson already had 24 major fails(e.g. 5G Huawei)

Beyond WTF, are you wondering HOW?

This thread answers with evidence 👉 []
The crowning achievement of this gov is...DATA SUPRESSION.
Sorry the thread's so long. It's necessary to explain the data.

You want an example? OK

How do you get a corrupt & nepotistic hiring policy for crucial Track & Trace?

Simple. Within 12 months of coming to office, reverse 30 years of Open Government⬇️

Another example? Ok
How did they get away with billions spent on corrupt non-compliant contracts?

Simple.

Covertly break the law. If you remove freedom of information, no one can see what you're doing.

The illustrated #Johnson timeline: Northern Ireland.

Or the depraved timeline of mendacious political deceit.

Both are accurate.

And while certainly, I have nothing but contempt, I believe the timeline to follow is verifiably factual

2015 - 2021 #Johnson's Ulster Lies in full Image
#Johnson on Northern Ireland

2015. Leaving the EU would be a crazy decision for our Economy.
'16. Brexit is not about leaving the single market or customs union
'16. Leaving the SMCU is incompatible with maintaining the UK
'16. We will not leave the SMCU⏬ Image
'17 We voted to leave the Customs Union and Single Market and all EU institutions.
'17 There's no need for a border; there isn't one now.
'17 We need a border between NI and Ireland
'17 The border obviously will be down the Irish Sea
'17 No borders, technology instead Image

I've argued our Government shares more with USSR totalitarian "communists" than with anything in modern Conservatism (attached at end).

From state controls, to spending or resources, anyone can see that.

It begs questions.

Where are the real conservatives?
Are they a threat?
Just to recap a little for any new readers, since the start I've argued there was no big mastermind or master plan that led Conservatives to their "masterpiece", Populist #Brexit.

3 simple reasons

1. We saw the factions
2. We watched the seesaw
3. The endless inconsistency
In late 2016/2017 we tried to prove this objectively. We used press articles from Brexit, IndyRef, Quebec & Catalonia.

Brexit was unique in three areas:

Policy and terms were decided after referendum
There was no consensus for years
Multiple factions hijacked constantly 🔄🔁

Dean, avid listener to your show on Fridays, but never thought I'd need to write in. Then a blooming insurance claim (sorry not work from home).

As you always say, they're trying to wriggle out!

But the problem is the scam.
We need hot water, and they know it
We claim for a boiler replacement - rejected.
But they're using a bogus renewals argument to reapply an initial no claims period.
That's a first policy first term clause.
Otherwise we're not in contravention, there's no misrepresentation.
We should win

I mentioned a scam...
So while we're dealing with faux claim denial, the dog has become the best smelling member of the household.
Quite seriously - no one wants to live without hot water.
Showers aside it's still blooming cold.

So, dig into savings, buy the boiler now. Collect claim

SCAM time

In the dark corners of the nasty end of the large colon of academia, there is a theory.

Fascism will be achieved by...?

The theory argues that "normal" hate monger theorists are wrong. Major pushes create generational counter-reactions that eventually undo them.

So instead?
This may feel like a tangent. It's relevant.

How do you boil a frog?

The answer is NOT to put the frog into boiling water.

It will immediately jump out.

Put the frog in cold water and very slowly heat the water?

The poor frog won't notice until it's too late. Boiled alive
So it is for this fascism theory.

Don't make big changes. People will be alerted and "jump out". You'll end up defeating yourself

Make small changes. Slowly. Changes that alone seem almost minor, not large enough to oppose or reverse

Such as?

How about the right to protest?

Priti's latest dalliance into badly constructed legislation, the

"Statues have feelings too Act"

is notable for all the obvious reasons below.

But I'd like to point out some lesser-known facts.

Since 1851 we've had ~ 30 criminal justice acts (add data crimes etc.)

...cont
Uk average age is 40.1 years.
Of the 30, 23 have been within most lifetimes.

Off the 23, 15 have been introduced by Priti and her ilk. That's 65%.

Take out "genuine modernisation" like data and internet legislation; it's 90%.

Remove money laundering; it's 100% Priti and Pals.
To a good approximation Priti isn't tough on crime so much as tough on wood pulp.

Let's be fair. There is context.
On the one hand she's prioritising statues over women while her PM is investing in Nukes.

On the other hand, all this aggression must be having a result.
