As mentioned.
So firstly not defending the difference as id have liked the racists to get double what the GSO protestors got . one lot pleaded guilty so that’s a third off straight away . They pleaded at the first possible opportunity & also I think the GSO had similar cases ongoing when they committed these , although I could be wrong . Also I’d suggest they’ve been sentenced as foot soldiers not generals so we might see some other big ones down the line , well I hope so .The Just Stop Oil fella who got 5 years for a WhatsApp message must be fuming with those sentences.
What do you want then? Do you want far right fascist telegram groups to be allowed to organise more pogroms?Far right Telegram channels shut down.
Fair enough. But where does this lead to?
Left wing content being shut down 'for balance'?
Blair wanted ID Cards and the neo-Blairites around Starmer are going to push again to crack down on freedom to assemble and freedom to communicate.
We have to be vigilant. Starmer is a law and order man ultimately. If he has an ideology, that's it: control. His thinking as a lawyer and DPP was always to never trust the public and to hand out powers to the coppers and judiciary and back them up to the hilt. That'll be his stamp as PM.
We're on a very slippery slope with him, and there's hardly any dissenting voices in the LP anymore...unlike when Blair tried it on with ID implementation.

If Starmer decides to be a law and order man opposing literal Nazis then I support him wholeheartedly, he can send them to a Gulag for all I care
Mate, we’re talking about fascist mobs going on pogroms. We don’t need new laws for them, they’re clearly illegal under current laws and bluntly the people involved should count themselves as lucky they’re not being charged under the terrorism act, as their actions fall way within it’s remit.I think I said we have to be vigilant of censorship and new draconian laws as they can be used to crack down on legitimate protest, and I dont trust a former hard line DPP to be that bothered about the difference.
We need checks and balances.
Anyone who objects to that as a point of view needs to ask themselves a few questions and not the person making it.

Just been some of the garbage pushed out onto the media by Musk and Tate , very dangerous stuff , how can this clown challenge a political party democratically elected 4 weeks ago , the right and their vicious mob were defeated , 174 majority i say Starmer is far from perfect but to blame him is a disgrace , 14 years of tory garbage is the real problem
