I think everyone who supported it has to die first.

To wit:

People still defend the Iraq war

Nobody defends the invasion of Suez.

This is from the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act

154(4A)

A person is guilty of an offence if, with intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress, he— (a)uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or (b)displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,thereby causing that or another person harassment, alarm or distress.

It's so sweeping virtually anything bad tempered said in public can get you arrested.

It's an insanely authoritarian law.

Lupe is really good. Created by ex Dyson engineers who fucked off start their own company. Bonus that one of them is an EU citizen as well.

Brexit was promised to reduce immigration. Woops.

The lawmaker, who has previously been labelled a Dutch version of Donald Trump, will have to form a coalition government before he can take the reins of power.

And here we see evidence of why proportional voting systems provide a defence against populists and authoritarians by moderating extremes. Wilders is softening his xenophobic rhetoric in order to facilitate compromise. If the UK had PR, Brexit would never have happened.

When the Brits want to shit on their neighbours they suddenly become European.

You're just repeating Israeli talking points. Hamas is a product of Israel's brutal occupation of Palestinian land. There will always be resistance to that occupation just as Israels war against the PLO in the 1980s did not end Palestinian resistance. There is no military solution to Israeli apartheid of 5 million people.

Indians have a psychotic hatred of Muslims.

Israel has slaughtered 5000 kids and dropped the equivalent of two Hiroshima nukes on the most densely populated strip of land on earth. They've "fought" back plenty.
