Ok, I guess the lawyers in question obviously see it very differently though.

It's not her position that's the problem (although I vehemently disagree with it) it's her effectively casting those opposing it, through our judicial system, as the enemy.


It is the same principle as why certain people don’t see racism.

People in power create division, by using language, to misrepresent and characterise a group.

The thoughts of the people in that group are ignored.

Someone acts on that perception.

The people using that language, and supporting that group are somehow not responsible.

What some people mean by freedom, is the ability to abuse, lie, ignore facts, and misrepresent anything they like, and not take any responsibility for the consequences.

I feel we shall not see eye to eye on this. But that's ok.

I think that there is a small minority of islamic extremists who are the enemy who use immigration to infiltrate. Russians and the IRA use/used it and it will continue to be used.
That has to be accepted by all sides.

Her demonising of them? Again, not sure. She is tough, very tough and wants to defend us from the nutters who want to bring the country to change to their way of life.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

I don't think she is/has stoked the kind of hatred to cause such an attack.

She is setting out a strong and defined position. Said position sits outside Europe's open to all, and I mean all, policy.

There are nutters everywhere looking for something to latch onto. This person and their ilk are at the extreme margin. So much so that no person can be held responsible for their actions.


Except the person who carried out the attack- they alone are responsible.

Do you feel the same way about those who have radicalised Islamic Terrorists, are they not in any way responsible? Abu Hamza is fine in your book?

I'm not drawing an equivalence but it's obviously far too simplistic to say the attacker alone is responsible.

A good piece here too:

It’s dangerous cheerleading and nothing else. Furthermore it won’t resolve the situation they claim exists, it will just deepen the divisions in society that the Tory party are responsible for creating over the past 10 years.

“ She is tough, very tough and wants to defend us from the nutters who want to bring the country to change to their way of life.”

You mean those nutters that wanted to change the way we live and work in this country? The way that everyone under 50 knows as the norm, the one that gives the freedom to travel and work all across Europe, the one that affords free trade across the worlds largest trading bloc, the one that ensures human rights are respected, the one that has a net positive effect on our economy?

Is that the change she’s protecting us from? Because that’s a very real change that will bring far more damage than a handful of extremists. Or are you only concerned about the extremists that you haven’t voted for?

I do not feel the attacker alone is responsible.

Both extremes have small and highly effective ways of stoking hatred. The internet has allowed them the freedom to find shadows and echo chambers. Both sides.

For me this attack shows that the liberal and nigh on non-existent immigration barriers in Europe have driven a few nutters to pile into the lawyers who defend those trying to get to the UK.

It's not healthy.

I agree. Examples A and B being Boris Johnson and Priti Patel.

This was a reply to brazil1982.

I'm sure the immigration rules have upset a few racists but surely we shouldn't be basing our society around what is least likely to upset racists?

Deliberately provocative language, endorsed by Johnson no less.

"Boris Johnson went even further, claiming the entire criminal justice system was “being hamstrung by lefty human rights lawyers”.

Sh1t people aren't they? Utter low life trash.


God Jeera he was clearly just joking! It's all about the context or something...

Yeah it's definitely the fault of immigration, not those demonising immigrants and those who ensure their legal rights are protected.

Looking at the arrows there an 'htb' and 'Harlston' also agree with our government's hate speech approach.

No comments on the matter on here ever though, just silent agreement.

There's a few radicalised people out there in the Hampstead mould it seems.
