IF Jesus came back & tried to get to Britain, he'd be framed the by right-wing media as a symptom of "The Great Replacement" & "a scrounging illegal migrant & potential terrorist rapist", & Govt Ministers would be braying for him to be sent to #Rwanda for "processing".
We now know that the UK has experienced more far-right terror attacks & plots than any state in Europe.
Around a third of all domestic terror threats now come from the far Right - often inspired by far-right #propaganda - according to the head of MI5.
In addition to dozens of @Conservatives MPs using the far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory of 'Cultural Marxism' to attack institutions such as the National trust & BBC, Tory MPs have also been accused of echoing far-Right rhetoric around immigration.
In January 2021, in an open letter by four charities, home secretary Priti Patel was criticised for inciting violence against migrants & human rights lawyers by calling them "do-gooders" & "lefty lawyers" - extremely dangerous phrases STILL being used.
The letter came after Patel denounced lawyers for representing asylum seekers - despite a law firm specialising in asylum cases having recently been attacked.
She'd targeted the legal profession even AFTER being briefed about the attack by the police.
Edward Bernays, using ideas developed by his uncle Sigmund Freud, set in motion powerful #propaganda techniques used to 'manipulate the organized habits & opinions of the masses' & "pull the wires that control the public mind" that are still in use today.
Sigmund Freud developed his theory about the the human subconscious mind & the technique of psychoanalysis, by which patients are confronted with their subconscious fears & desires in order to unearth the causes of & resolve their problematic behaviours.
Freud was worried by what he found: the subconscious held deep, dark desires of a sexual & violent nature. He saw his fears about the subconscious mind realized when the Great War started in 1914, writing about his concerns in his 1929 book, 'Civilization & Its Discontents'.
Like many senior Tories, Crosby is a master of 'Divide & Rule', & an expert in the 'Dark Arts' of voter manipulation, infamous for his 'dead cat' strategy & the promotion of toxic & deliberately divisive 'wedge issues' - evidence of which is everywhere in Britain at the moment.
A 'wedge issue' - a key component of the classic 'divide & rule' political strategy - is described as a political or social issue, often of a controversial or divisive nature, which splits apart a demographic or population group.
The evidence is crystal clear: the happiest countries are the most equal ones. People in countries like Britain, where there are high levels of #inequality, are easily manipulated by political & media elites, who fuel division by identifying & demonising scapegoats.🇬🇧 #RwandaPlan
The "general recipe for creating highly satisfied citizens: ensure that state institutions are of high quality, non-corrupt, able to deliver what they promise, & generous in taking care of citizens in various adversities".
The UK's political & media elite conceal from Brexit supporters & "patriots" the truth about their hero Winston Churchill's role in both the European Convention on, & Court of, Human Rights - designed to protect people from Govts like ours. 🇬🇧 #RwandaPlan
Given the UK Govt's deeply concerning & increasingly antidemocratic & authoritarian tendencies, concerned citizens need to better understand the European Convention on Human Rights - & know that it was driven by Britons in the aftermath of WWII.
Some talk about the ECHR as if it is a bad thing, imposed on the unwilling British by our European neighbours. This is profoundly misleading & insulting to previous generations fighting in & affected by WWII which was started by the leader of an antidemocratic authoritarian Govt.
In the early 1940s, British PM Winston Churchill raised the idea of a ‘Council of Europe’.
In the wake of WWII & the horrors of the #Holocaust, the idea behind the Council of Europe was to set up an international organisation to promote democracy, the rule of law & human rights.
Estimates suggest that a progressive UK net #WealthTax that only taxes the top 1% wealthiest households - those with net wealth above £3.4 million - would raise roughly £70-130 billion a year.
Introducing a #WealthTax for UK households with net wealth above £3.4million (the top 1%) taxed at a marginal rate of 1%, above £5.7million (the top 0.5%) at a marginal rate of 5%, & above £18.2million (the top 0.1%) at a marginal rate of 10%, would raise £70-130 billion a year.
Cressida Cowell has called on the UK government to fund primary school libraries so that all children across the country don’t miss out on the opportunity to read for pleasure & all the vital benefits this chance brings.
