  If the CPS was to show one tenth of the enthusiasm for holding police officers accountable for their actions as it does for armed forces veterans from Northern Ireland then I for one would be astonished. Those floodgates are not going to be opened – any more that Pascal Robinson-Foster is going to get banged up for his hate speech which was viewed and heard by half a million people courtesy of Tim Davie.

  Comments by law enforcement within the last year such as “We’re definitely not going to arrest any of you so why don’t you just park your weapons in the Mosque” give zero cause for optimism that anything has chsnged.

  I am increasingly convinced that the left is nothing more than an inversion of the right. If the right is concerned about immigration, then there must be more of it. If the right is opposed to surgical mutilation of children, then it should continue. If the right is against men in frocks, let’s have them in schools. If the right is outraged by child rapists then cover it up and turn a bling eye. I’m not seeing any consistent ideology here, merely a galvanic response to those on the right.

  It’s not just the left though.

  The conservative party voted in lockstep to oppose Rachel’s admittedly too little too late welfare bill. Two cheeks of the same arse. The interests of the country take a poor second place to those of the party.

  @Roue le Jour
  That’s a very interesting point which like most things is largely true to a certain extent.
  However there is a key driver to the Left that everyone needs to understand.
  They are still revolutionaries, they are now just wearing suits and the modern language of management and supposed kindness that sounds anything but if you cross them.
  As revolutionaries it is incumbent on them to try to destroy society as it exists right now. There fore they will automatically choose a policy that is designed to do so but will disguise it so it looks like something else.

  Trans rights? It’s all about denying the reality that you see in front of you that you know to be true. This is a key prop to any authoritarian regime where clear failures or moral repugnancy of the actions of the regime can be spun into the opposite.
  Islamophobia. The same thing. A belief system that in every place it is in power rules with amazing brutality, whereby non believers do not exist any more, women and gay people (among many others) are persecuted and subjected to violence and control. Except this belief system is peaceful, and to question it is both racist and illegal. Deny reality.

  Immigration. The Left do not want national borders. They are now in charge of dismantling them via immigration.

  Sex changes in children/trans rights: there is no reality. There is no right or wrong. Also, Chinese revolutionaries sought to inject wedge issues into the populace in order to foster disagreement and resentment between older age groups who were tethered in reality and the younger and more pliable minds if teens/kids.

  And so on and so on. There is method to the madness. Thinking it is just because the Tories/anyone else are against it lacks the understanding of what the Left are really trying to achieve.
