    Like the guy here in the UK that molotoved a refugee detainment centre and then killed himself last month. MPs, the government, & the police all claimed there wasn't any political motivation whatsoever until anti-fascist activists produced hundreds of tweets and online activity talking about killing Muslim refugee children before they take over the country and links to both explicitly racist organisations and racist UKIP/Tory/independent politicitions.

    Now the police counterterrorism unit seems to have quietly admitted his ideology and said they're treating it as a terror investigation, but other police statements and politicians are still claiming it was just a confused, mentally ill man and had nothing to do with right wing ideology or their own anti-refugee campaigns that the navy should kill them in the channel before they get here and deport them to Rwanda if they make it.

    It's a sick fucking joke.

      Bet MI5 was fucking pissed about their nice Lone-Gunman coverup being blown. Anyone want to take bets he was informing on their payroll?

        They're still in court denying that the Manchester bomber was not only one of theirs, but that they even knew who he was despite years and years of demonstratable evidence and testimony to the contrary.

        Bad news about a potential Labour win...

        Before he was parachuted in as a political stalking horse, Starmer spent his time as the inside man at CPS for state intelligence, making sure their operatives got away with proven torture.

        He undermined thousands of people's right to fair representation in court with a midnight mass-trial fasttrack, after the riots and talked gleefully about imprisoning and deporting people for crimes as severe as taking baby formula and eating an ice cream without fully paying for it.

        He's since supported violent policing against peaceful protesters, wants harsher sentences for climate protests, and tried to force the party to support a bill that would have made not only British soldiers unable to be prosecuted for war crimes and torture, but also police and intelligence service 'assets and informants' unprosecutable for crimes including rape and murder.

        His current approach to immigration is being praised as further right than the conservatives by Nigel Farage.

        Labour is a right-wing, racist, authoritarian party and Starmer is absolutely one of those gammons. Just look at the colour of the man's face.
