We’ve even seen the UK warning signs over the last 5 years or so, as this article points out.
https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/01/americas-capitol-riots-could-come-to-britain-to
One particular aspect that jumps out is that 45% of Republicans supported the siege even seeing the footage. That’s not extremism in the classic image of loons on the fringe but this is saying that there’s a foundation of normalised support – and I definitely think we’ve seen a similar mainstream radicalisation in the UK around Brexit and identity issues. Coupled with the rapid rise in far-right domestic terrorism and an already flawed, untrusted democracy, it doesn’t seem we’re a massive leap away from something major if the “wrong” people get into power. Or even just challenge the narrative like BLM did.
The latest addition of GB News and News UK TV into an already over-represented right-wing media, the new BBC Chairman and Director General both being Tories and the government being Tory itself don’t mean that the sting is taken out of it and that people will stand down. Quite the opposite – this is part and parcel of the normalisation that will embolden extremism. In fact there may be a battle over consumers and voters (and giving people what they want) that confirms beliefs and pushes the nationalism, identity and othering even further.
And on that cheery note, time for a Friday beer and the start of the weekend! COYB! 😀

do feel free to explain why being in the capitol during a pro-trump insurrection is a good thing? [Post edited 8 Jan 2021 22:39]

I follow a considerable number of Qanoners and far-right figureheads who are leading these nonsense lies about ANTIFA in disguise and Deep State nonsense to push literal extremist xenophobia. Mostly out of a mix of morbid curiosity, staying informed and, as much as you insist I don’t - challenging my own echo chamber.
You sound like Andy Ngo or Ron Watkins right now. Not sure if this is a weird ill-informed attempt at balance or more classic “I’m left wing but I spend most of my time helping spread right wing propaganda and rethoric” from you. I know you deny it and claim it’s all made up but that has to be your worst one to date.
F*ck me. |  |

Why do you think so? |
I love the way he’s gone back to retroactively downvote being asked a question.
That’s some insecurity right there. | |

frankly i really have no idea what any of that means. seriously do you need a translator?
i have quoted from the bbc. if you were a known blm activist, given that everything is filmed and open to nutty conspiracy interpretations, do you think it is very clever to join in a pro-trump invasion of the capitol? really? and you have a problem with me calling's it "a bit weird"? ok i guess. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

You posted it saying it was weird. Then when asked why you changed it to being stupid. But we know what you were really doing - spreading news that is easily twisted into misnfo as an open ended question?
As I said, have a word.
There are countless more likely, logical and plausible reasons a left wing activist would be present at a right wing demo. If you were actually educated on things like this rather than standing from the sidelines screaming moral superiority in the name of “both sides” you’d know this.
If you don’t understand what I’m on about, you clearly aren’t informed enough to have an opinion on it. Spruce spotted it too, I can almost promise you that. [Post edited 8 Jan 2021 22:54]

i quoted the bbc word for word. i think it is weird AND stupid. i admit that i am spreading news from the bbc. guilty.
i've explained why i think a blm activist joining an pro-trump invasion of the capitol is weird and stupid. really what a weird and stupid thing to do.
but you disagree. fine. | |

You’re not. You posted it as an open ended question. It’s there for all to see.
I don’t think you’re lacking so much awareness to claim it was just an innocent link to the BBC. Not to mention whatteraboutery on a thread about literal fascist terrorists trying to kill government officials. Both sides, etc. | |

i posted words from the bbc. inconvenient stuff is inconvenient. but what a stupid and weird thing to do. if you're watching the pro trump nutters that's fine - but when they start a violent invasion of the capitol, walk away, don't go inside. | |

Are you still pretending it was about it being weirdly stupid rather than suggesting something more sinister in an age where such poor and fact lacking narratives have time to go round the world before the Truth straps up its boots?
Based on past form I’m not buying it. | |

having given it further thought, i'm going with: "this is a bit weird though".
it is though isn't it. objectively, in the modern age of camera phones and the internet, what a really stupid thing do.
i'm struggling to see how you can think it the height of good judgement? | |

You’re still sticking with story then? No acknowledgement of the context it was posted in?
If you don’t know what I’m on about, perhaps spend more time calling out those you claim to be against than finding subjective issues with the people you claim to be on the same side of.
Anyone actually paying half a bit of attention would understand why that post was a sh1t storm. | |

the context is i read it on the bbc and thought: that's a bit weird - what a really stupid thing to do. we're not in a failing marriage - so i can say stuff without it having any hidden meaning. the twtd equivalent of "but you haven't noticed my hair" is a bit weird. but, it's lovely by the way. | |

It will be refreshing to watch some different news channels. Both BBC & Sky are hugely left leaning. Different perspectives & balance are good to have. Not saying any are right. Now for some football at last! |

Then evidently you’ve just outed yourself as a very poorly informed person.
Well, I say “outed”. | |

ok, so you happen to know that John Sullivan, 26, didn't take part in the violent pro-trump invasion the capitol? you're clearly much better informed and i withdraw my comments about the actions of John Sullivan, 26, being weird and stupid. [Post edited 9 Jan 2021 0:02]

You aren’t grasping this, are you?
Let me explain.
1) The fact you think it’s weird a left wing protester would be at a right wing rally shows you don’t really understand what left wing activism is, despite continually insisting you are left wing.
3) The fact you earlier said it wasn’t obvious how such an incident at the Capitol would happen, when to anyone who has been paying attention knew it would as they actually spent more time listening to right wing chatter. And then after that you weigh in with a take ironically worded in the EXACT manner that fuelled those idiots. They lap this sh1t up and he’s already been hailed DEEP STATE ANTIFA COMMIE ACTOR WHO FRAMED THE PEACEFUL TRUMP PROTESTERS by the loons.
That’s the exact kind of stuff you are continually flagged on here, and perhaps it should serve as a reminder that you have no idea how you are problem. We beed to be opposing fascism, not shouting at people for doing it in a way that you don’t agree with and planting seeds for idiots to grow from. [Post edited 8 Jan 2021 23:58]

well at least i understood point 1: "The fact you think it’s weird a left wing protester would be at a right wing rally shows you don’t really understand what left wing activism". ok then, but that really is very fun - so well done.
there was no 2) and i genuinely need a translator for the rest. | |

Why do I have a spoonerism of a well respected Ipswich Town player as my username on an ITFC fan site?

Lest we forget that Jo Cox was killed by a far-right terrorist
And there have been other plots to kill MPs that have been foiled so it is happening
Tommy Robinson managed to have a protest by his supporters outside Bellmarsh for example
It is certainly possible |  |
