Terrorism police list Extinction Rebellion as extremist ideology

Counter-terrorism police placed the non-violent group Extinction Rebellion (XR) on a list of extremist ideologies that should be reported to the authorities running the Prevent programme, which aims to catch those at risk of committing atrocities, the Guardian has learned.

The climate emergency campaign group was included in a 12-page guide produced by counter-terrorism police in the south-east titled Safeguarding young people and adults from ideological extremism, which is marked as “official”.

XR featured alongside threats to national security such as neo-Nazi terrorism and a pro-terrorist Islamist group. The guide, aimed at police officers, government organisations and teachers who by law have to report concerns about radicalisation, was dated last November.

They are literally 'dynastic' cult sheep cause they are allowed to be openly racist nasty again...



What I don't understand is, if you wanted to create the fourth reich... and one can only assume that this is the plan with these fuckers... why choose this family of utter dimwits.

I mean come on....If they feel they need to move to an authoritarian despotic regime because religious and racist bollocks, surely they could come up with something better than the Trumps to fulfil their nasty nazi dreams of white power?

Why on earth would they not choose a family with a stronger gene set and BRAINS...
Ivanka has no agency, she is a plastic barbie who has never spoken with anything but Trumps voice - what grown arsed woman does that?
The smug wankers that are the brothers have no chins - which tells you everything you need to know...
They all believe they are clever but they are so stupid that they believe because privilege bought them an education that this translates into intellectual superiority in comparison to the hoi polloi... fucking idiots.

Trump cultists would choose this family to be their dynastic heroes? There is only one explanation. Permission for in your face public hate has been granted for the first time in 40 years, and they want to cling onto it for the next 50 years, and in their white supremacist dreams eventually take us back a 100 years. They will literally give up democracy for this... Racist Nazi Zombie Fuckers...

Why bother having a revolution at all? Better to stick to Mad King George 3rd who at least had an excuse for being mad...
21st Century republicans, hankering after a 16th century mode of governance? Heh



Just saying...

Socialised Medicine? The Horror!!!

My partner had a health crisis last night. We decided to wait and see if the situation had improved this morning and it hadn't. So I call an ambulance. They were here in less than 15 minutes. Thorough check over and off they went to Accident and Emergency. Saw a doctor within 20 minutes. Barrage of tests, some medical interventions, a referral to the right expert department (to be seen within the next two weeks) and home within 5 hours in total.

Cost of invoice - well there wasn't one, of course...

How could anyone not agree that this is a great model for the average chap and chapette? How could anyone who is being clobbered by the private insurance model ever vote to continue being mugged by the system every time they get sick, when it does not have to be that way? It is not logical.

I am such a communist

Cholesterol's Cunning Comfort 'Cause Chickenhawk



Of course I am not death wishing the President. Death wishing is never OK. But maybe... not well enough to run again? I would take that, or debilitated enough to not have any more energy not to steal democracy anymore..

Either way - the sign is genius.

Iran pledges to kill thousands of Americans by opening gun stores across the Midwest (satire)

The notorious middle-east country Iran has announced a plan to kill thousands of Americans by opening gun stores across the midwest and selling firearms at discount prices.

With an evil cackle, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei told jubilant supporters this plan would result in the deaths of untold thousands of Americans every year.

The new stores will offer discounts of up to 10%, with a guarantee to beat the price of any gun sold at competing vendors and will give loyalty cards offered to anyone buying more than two firearms a year.

To be fair though...that would work. After all guns in America are the biggest threat by far to peoples safety in America, Iran has nothing on the NRA...

Just a reminder (not that you need one) of another reason why 2020 is so important...



Of course with Trump it goes soooooo much further than this, but also this.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she is 'cancer-free' after spate of health scares

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is starting the year off “cancer-free” and has resumed an active role as part of the supreme court’s liberal bloc.

In a rare interview with CNN, the 86-year-old justice, whose health has preoccupied the public as the court shifts to the right under Donald Trump’s presidency, offered an update: “I’m cancer-free. That’s good,” she said, sounding “energized”, according to CNN.

Hope, crying and smiling in one bloody marvellous tweet

Here's a video to give you hope & make you smile: our warrior princess Nusayba gave her liver donor @ShawnZed a hug today after ringing the bell. After 9 months of enduring stage 4 liver cancer, she is officially cancer free. I'm so proud of her. She is the bravest person I know.


In a time when anger and despair is a regular part of our daily lives...THIS
