For those of you looking across the Atlantic & thinking at least what's happening with ICE in Minnesota couldn't happen here.... think again.

This is exactly what Reform UK Ltd (Nigel Farage's company masquerading as a political party) *is* planning - and as so often the Fascists are quite open about what they intend.

Moreover, lacking the sort of constitutional restraints (unevenly) available in the US, the danger of ICE-like action(s) here is worse!

@ChrisMayLA6 The current Labour administration is paving the path for this. People have been arrested and charged and convicted for holding a meeting discussing possible protest. The courts and judges can refuse to hear the defence case, and forbid the accused or their barristers from telling the court what and why their planned an action. People are charged and described as ‘terrorist’ for holding a sign with certain words in public…..

Do you think Sir Stammer is indistinguishable from John Major, or do you think that's unfair to Major?
