Heads we win, tails you lose



We must face down extremists, says Rishi Sunak

The UK must face down extremists trying to "deliberately" undermine the country's "multi-faith democracy", Rishi Sunak has warned.

The PM said Islamists and the far-right were "two sides of the same extremist coin" who loathed Britain...

However, his speech did not contain details of any new policy changes.


Net Zero, forced adoption of electric cars, mass immigration, large scale postal voting, gender politics, lockdowns, dabbling in war, increasing censorship and collusion between political parties on all major policy issues. Lump that lot together and it seems like a pretty extreme package to me.

They get to define "extreme". We get to pay the bills.

Two sides of the same coin?

Islamic extremists have killed 94 since the 2005 attacks, whereas right-wing extremists have killed 3. And I've seen a lot of recent footage of dusky-looking beardies waving Palestinian flags attacking the police and loudly picketing businesses, whereas there don't seem to be many right-wingers featuring in the same genre.

So I would say it's cone-shaped, rather than coin-shaped.

decnine - yes, we're paying through the nose for their silly games.

Sam - that's it, false equivalence doesn't bother them if they can deflect attention from a problem they don't intend to tackle.

The problem with British politics is not the distraction of the far-right, far-left, or theocratic bully boys... it's the tedium of the characterless centrists for whom nothing is that important.

DJ - maybe their lives are too comfortable for anything to seem important if it doesn't concern them directly.
