Thread 38 Sunak: Soooo, square one is an option then?

[AdamRyan]

Thanks to @cornettoninja For the epic title!

Interesting guidance:

In a section on single-issue ideologies, the document reads: “Narratives are likely to come from those who seek to change a specific policy or practice, as opposed to replacing the whole economic, political or social system. Examples include animal rights, anti-abortion or anti-fascism. Single-issue narratives can be politically agnostic, meaning they may be neither right nor left aligned.”

I am opposed to the Monarchy. Where do I hand myself in for deradicalisation?

This yells for a thread.

Opposed to abortion?
Pro animal rights
Anti Monarchy

You are potentially an extremist and could be referred to Prevent.

And if you know someone who is like that, you have a professional duty to refer your suspicions.

I’m opposed to this government so I definitely need to hand myself in.

Also I threatened a riot at the start of the thread and you lot all joined in. We’re probably being watched already.

According to the training, I think Suella Braverman and Liz Truss need to be reported to Prevent.

I am worried about them. Should I report my suspicions?

Not me cake!! Haven't got the stomach for it...

You missed

socialist?
generally think fascism is a bad idea?

Surprised they haven't got National Trust member on there.

Oh dear, maybe I shouldn’t answer the door for fear the police have come to arrest me.

Maybe we should all be self reporting? Reverse psychology trick to show we actually aren't a danger, as surely extremists wouldn't? I might need to re-read the guidance.

Well, who knew the Nazi's may have had a point. Oh yes, this lot, for the last 14yrs...

Do we think this is the new "extremist" wording that was incoming or do we think we have more coming - the article I linked to I think said it would be next week! Unlike the Tories to be early for something.

Its an amazing thing that people prefer having less traffic on the street they live on. Who would have thought it?

See, I'd be suggesting UK be put on some sort of watch list now if I were from most countries in Europe. I think the security data sharing issues post Brexit must have allowed for some dark force types to redefine threats.

Certainly a far cry from being a 'snowflake' that was all they were throwing at us in 2016! Maybe I should be glad we've made the list.

I actually did look into how to report Anderson for inciting racial hatred the other day but didn't go through with it.

My 75 year old mother throws dog food around the fields when the hunt is out. Maybe I should report her? 🤔

I am genuinely quite alarmed by this government 😯

Please make a thread cake 🙏

That I can do

Are you a socialist? What about your child? Or are you anti-abortion? Maybe anti-Monarchist? A communist? Do you know someone who is like that? Then the Government thinks you are showing signs of extremism and should be referred to Prevent | Mumsnet

😂

Shock news

Government Minister lies

How many Labour MPs are standing down at the next election? - Full Fact

It hadn’t registered with me that a sixth of sitting Tory MPs are stepping down. That must be some kind of record, especially when you consider the 17 that went and triggered a by election. 77 from one parliament.

And that's only the ones who have already decided and declared it. Odds are a few more won't stand, particularly if this does drag out until autumn or even winter.

Ticking off my bingo card nicely on your thread.

Pretty sure I read recently that they’ve been asked to stagger announcements as there are so many.

Could you please tell your mum that I think she is fabulous?

Me too, AdamRyan, star mum you have there. If every Tory MP has to fork out £100,000 to his or her constituency party, like Mr Hunt has done, there may well be even fewer than the predicted 25 after GE. What the hell?

Missed this

No 10 faces Tory backlash over plans to broaden extremism definition | Conservatives | The Guardian

Yup, I'm in a fairly large group of peers who don't think men can become women, are left leaning, have multiple online accounts, want the genocide in Gaza to stop and don't like cruelty to animals. I tick a few boxes on their list, as do most women I know and a few men.

Surely they can see this is not going to end well? It's going to rile up a lot of moderates in my opinion, as well as the anti-abortion lobby and Christians on the right. Did Rishi intend to cause so much social division? Maybe this is all some way to increase the budget for the military that will be needed to retrain these "mobs".

Who is winning here? Jewish Groups? I've just seen videos of a whole parade of Jews marching against the genocide in America. Are the Jewish groups here so different? Maybe oil companies too - they can arrest all of the annoying people who want environmental standards back?

Every year we become increasingly Orwellian.

It must be confusing to have both Cates and the left gunning for you.

Johnson has written an article in the Mail talking about democracy, anti-semitism and warning about the lessons of the 1930s

Funny - when Gary Lineker mentioned that, he got villified in the right wing media for such comments.
