Burnham wants to appear to be ‘tough’ by abandoning the triple lock. His real objective being to protect the estates of the most wealthy. A shift of wealth from the poor to the rich. Anyone cheering this move is either very rich, self interested and callous or very, very stupid.

Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics. Like Blair, Cameron, Clegg, Mandelson, hired to open govt networks to companies and corporate capture of the state. They sell political capital built with public money. What do we get in return?

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.

In 2014 the conservative government which included Johnson, stood idly by while RuZZia illegally invaded Crimea. Johnson played a huge role in enabling that crime and then by doing Putin’s bidding betrayed the UK by enabling Brexit. He really can’t start whining about their behaviour now.

Ending the democratic state is the Neo-liberal’s objective. Subverting democracy by buying politicians is a key tactic in this. Underestimating Farage and his ilk echoes the mistake Weimar politicians made when faced with Hitler. Burnham et al are repeating Von Hindenburg’s. This is dangerous.

Apparently people call the shameful targeting of RNLI volunteers ‘doxing’ and the politicians call it expressing ‘legitimate concerns’. But it should be called terrorism and politicians should be legislating to take the terrorists off the streets.

If someone acts on their 'concerns' by attacking people in their homes and by biting and throwing rocks at cops, no one should assess if those concerns are 'legitimate' or not. That violent behaviour waives any claim to 'legitimacy'. The phrase comes across as justifying violence, not condeming it.
