Obviously it's exclusively the hateful Lefties who are too loose with their 'dangerous rhetoric'.

And of course the hateful Leftist "scum media" played its role in amplifying dangerously irresponsible rhetoric too.

And as for those awful Lefty MPs saying all sorts of terrible things...

These awful Lefty MPs really should stop with their dangerously irresponsible rhetoric about bombing & hanging fellow MPs.

I mean, the Right would NEVER say anything inflammatory or provocative, & would certainly never follow the lead of every single grotesque dictator throughout history by mobilising dangerously polarising populist nationalist rhetoric designed to turn citizens against each other...

During year ending March 2020, 1,487 PREVENT referrals (24%) were due to concerns related to Islamist radicalisation & 1,387 (22%) were referred for right-wing radicalisation. The remaining 210 referrals (3%) were related to other types of radicalisation.

In the year ending March 2020, of the 6,287 referrals to Prevent, 3,203 (51%) were for individuals with a mixed, unstable or unclear ideology, of which almost half (1,521; 47%) had no concern identified following an initial assessment.

As Jacob Rees-Mogg said in 2019, about shouts of "NOOSE" & "TRAITORS' GATE" in relation to Jeremy Corbyn from Tory activists during a Boris Johnson speech, the language used by his party was nothing compared to comments made by Labour MPs & supporters. 🧐

In 2018, The Sunday Times quoted an unnamed Tory MP: “The moment is coming when the knife gets heated, stuck in her front & twisted. She’ll be dead soon.”

Another said May was entering “the killing zone”, & a third said: “Assassination is in the air.”
