Sad and shocked at this totalitarian move by the UK govt to bring in legislation that brands anyone "undermining" official UK position on issues such as Israel / Palestine as "extremist".

I would say the govt here are the ones that are being extremist! That said given the current cabinet lineup, sadly I am not that surprised although I am deeply disturbed.

If this comes through we are one step closer to a fascist state.

The documents state: “Extremism is the promotion or advancement of any ideology which aims to overturn or undermine the UK’s system of parliamentary democracy, its institutions and values.”

That's funny. I find this policy to be aiming to undermine and overturn UK's values.

Yep, it's got Cruella written all over it! The same woman who apparently wants to clamp down on homeless people in tents.

And we thought Priti Patel was bad...!
