I don't know about "most rational", but no matter. Once TERFOR has been established as a government institution, headed by no less than the PM himself, the definition of spreading poison can and will be broadened, as will the definition of what an extremist is. The intent behind TERFOR is to criminalise words, thoughts and ideas. If enacted, it'll be another nail in the coffin for democracy. Initially, it will suppress, then criminalise what Orwell called "Thoughtcrime" just like fascist and so-called communist governments have habitually done in the past.

Nah. We hardly ever talk about religion, and the militant activism spawned here has so far included walking past a christian bookshop in Nottingham, on the way to somewhere else for alcohol and food.

Were you reading the Bible again? Cut off you hand after masturbating? Remember, it's not literal!

Carve out your Bible and place a gnu in the cavity. The Lord will protect you on the day. :coffee:
