N. Ireland is being flooded by violent extremists. UK Gov permitted Proud Boys' entry only weeks after the pogroms to hang out with pogromists & make a hate documentary. Absolutely no Government body is looking into international dark money flowing to the far right & paramilitaries here.

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

A shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.

If this same clip was in the UK, the whole US conservative political-media complex would freak out and saying it's proof that Britain is worse than North Korea, a society of woke censorship and fear that needs to be torn down. Podcasts would cover it for weeks. Vance would do a long sarcastic tweet.
