I really really hope you’re wrong.

I don’t mind working with the US even with Trump leading, but the EU is clearly a natural partner. They’re right at our doorstep.

There is a difference between authoritarianism and having laws to protect your citizens. Authoritarians have laws to protect the regime, not the citizens.

No one is being jailed for being a Nazi when you say you have issues with immigration policies, nor are people being jailed for being a communist for saying they want socialized healthcare.

You have to draw the line somewhere and say that something is dangerous and illegal, and I think saying you support Nazis and want to do Nazi stuff is a pretty good line.

I know this won’t change your mind, but even as you continue to disagree with this, I hope you can see why this isn’t a definitively wrong thing to do.

Thank you for providing an actual argument.

As we have witnessed in many places, these stuff isn’t always outlawed. In places where these views can be expressed more freely, it either escalate to the point where someone is hurt, or they gain enough popularity that it becomes almost impossible to stop. I believe that the best way to deal with the problem is to address it quickly head on when we know this is universally abhorrent.

This law seems to be explicitly in place to avoid people getting hurt. You have not provided any argument at all how it doesn’t.

Are you worried about being jailed for Nazi views? So you should be, and consider yourself lucky. I’d rather have you jailed for a month to hopefully learn your lesson that we don’t take to hatred and violence lightly, than to allow you a platform to gather support so you can hurt and kill millions.

Tolerance of intolerance is not a path to freedom. Choosing to do nothing will only mean that rights and freedoms will be destroyed. Call this the lesser of two evils if you must.

If you let intolerance fester, it will grow and take control, then it will start hurting and squeezing others. It’d be foolish to sacrifice freedom in the name of freedom.

Rejoining the EU isn’t a priority for me right now, but in 10 years time, who knows. Ruling out all other types of relationship is stupid. I voted for labour because I wanted to see the Tories out, but if this is really their goal then they might not get my vote in the next election.

I recall reading a few threads on r/India or similar where it’s clear that they aligned to the Russian narrative.

The article says that they bribed agents from Spanish secret service, making it all the more baffling since the agencies share information anyway. It’s apparently and older programme that continued without the ambassador’s knowledge.

Just reading this makes me angry. Bravo.

I guess it’d be less catchy if it’d said vape firm calls for tighter regulation on vapes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Has reddit reversed their API charge?

I would like to see how he deals with rip off fines… Nottingham city comes to mind. That council loves bleeding motorists for funding.
