This is tyranny

Certainly seems draconic, but consider her crimes: dissent, protest. These can’t remain unpunished or others might be encouraged to follow her example. I do not support the death penalty but such infamous terrorist activities as elderly ladies openly protesting in public call for drastic measures.Think of the children!

They want to make sure no British can ever be proud of their country’s history at any given time of its existance

This monologue originally had the last line be different.

It wasn’t “fight the Empire”.

It was originally “fuck the Empire”, but Disney stepped in.

I can’t find a short with the audio but in that clip you can clearly see her mouthing “fuck” in front of the green screen and the face is a bit sterner as well.

I lived through the Troubles. I was in London during the [IRA] bombings. I know what a terrorist organisation is.

That’s a very good point actually, what we typically think of as terrorism is acts of violence against people, not property damage.

The next election in the UK will be fascinating to watch.

The only people terrorised by property damage are rich assholes… So makes sense that the definition widened.

It was painfully obvious some years ago when the Anti-Terrorist legislation was passed that it had been designed like that on purpose so that it could be used against mere dissent.

Of course, the really special bit here is that it’s being used against those who dissent against the whole “let’s help an ethno-Fascist white colonialist state mass murder children by starvation”.

Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper are going to go down in History looking far worse than Neville Chamberlain, who at least didn’t do his thing mid-Holocaust and wasn’t actually supporting the Nazis.
