The late Robert Conquest adumbrated three rules of politics. Perhaps the most famous (also known as O’Sullivan’s law) is that ‘Any organisation not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing’. I would like to add a fourth law: ‘Any programme set up by government will inevitably metastasise unless consciously cut back by observant officials.’
… When I first saw these documents I felt a sort of white-hot anger. But then I read on and saw that these same taxpayer-funded fools provide lists of other books shared by people who have sympathies with the ‘far-right and Brexit’. Key signs that people have fallen into this abyss include watching the Kenneth Clark TV series Civilisation, The Thick of It and Great British Railway Journeys. I need to stress again that I am not making this up. This has all been done on your dime and mine in order to stop ‘extremism’ in these islands.
Good read. Britain’s anti-radicalization program “Prevent” was advised by an organization called “Hope Not Hate” very similar to the SPLC, ADL or in Canada’s case The Anti-Hate Haters Who Are Violent Antifa Lovers or whatever the hell it was called.
Needless to say all three are scams peopled by assholes that seek to criminalize your views. Unfortunately they often find fellow travelers in the media and government.
