Keir Starmer comes to mind: 'He doesn’t know what he dreamed last night – or ever: “I don’t dream.” Just hits the pillow at 11 and – “bang” – is out till around 5. He doesn’t have a favourite novel or poem, wasn’t scared of anything as a child.' www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

‘In making Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist organisation, the government has added it to a list that includes al-Qaida, the UDA and the neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Division, all of which advocate terror and murder to achieve political ends.’

'Among those arrested in London on 19 July were protesters carrying placards which read ‘Ban Starmer not Palestine Action’, although saying that Palestine Action should not be banned is the one speech act the Act expressly permits.'

A new teleportation open.substack.com/pub/teleport...

I imagine the public can see very clearly how this stuff doesn’t match up terribly well with what they’ve had screamed at them for two years: that the people opposing this are extremist “hate marchers”.
