Don’t Assume Labour Has Learnt From Rape Gangs Scandal...

[naomi24]

//...now it’s targeting criticism of Islam in free speech crackdown.  On the same day Labour committed to a major inquiry into the rape gangs, ­something else deeply sinister took place.  No doubt hoping few people would notice, Starmer and the ­Labour Party pushed forward with their plans to impose a dogmatic and dangerous new definition of ­“Islamophobia” on the country.//

The shape of things to come?

Another newspaper that thinks I'm going to accept unreasonable conditions or pay to read an article linked to. I reckon the period of newspapers being much use on the Net isn't going to last much longer.

Meanwhile legitimate criticism is not going to be any sort of phobia.

 

Next think we know everyone will get arrested for politicianaphobia, or maybe PMaphobia.

There's no paywall or conditions on that article, OG.  What are you being asked for?

[Deskdiary]

So a blasphemy law?

 

If a blasphemy law were to be enacted by the back door, that's the end of free speech.

[naomi24]

Yes indeed, DD.  

[naomi24]

Actually, it appears worse than that.  Criticism of Islam at all seems to be what's being suggested.

There are already religious hate offences but this will be very bad news and no doubt the definition will be very open-ended and abused just as the definition of what is a race hate crime is (MacPherson report).

 

Another Labour mess enroute.

As I have said before, Labour are inextricably linked to the rape gangs. 

We need someone in the know to find his or her courage to start naming names.
