Careful, you'll be accused of being a conspiracy theorist......

Good! They’re working for us against criminals. They can’t do that with one hand tied behind their back.

So you believe that those who are sworn to uphold the law are given carte blanche to break the law?

Tory govt don't work for "us"

They work for themselves.

You will note, at this stage Labour are not opposing it.

Is there a competition on this forum as to who can copy and paste news headlines to get the most reactions? Utter tripe and pity you if you can`t see past the headlines.

Like Brexit, the end justifies the means.

not much point with an 80 seat deficit

brexit leaves us worse off

what is the justification for that?

oh thats right Tory paymasters making a killing

There is a point ; registering one's position on the subject.

 

[ellal]

Like Brexit, the end justifies the means.

And if you become an innocent victim, does that justify the means?

undercover agents to commit crimes

not just undercover agents.

And I don't see that murder, torture, or the wrongful proroguing of Parliament are excluded from crimes that the government empowers itself to commit.

The Cummings government was very annoyed when it found that our Supreme Court had the power to rule on its illegal actions.

Abolishing the Human Rights Act and authorising criminality are undesirable policies.

Not necessarily, perhaps on this occasion.

Especially in regards to Brexit, Covid, BLM

It's a Cumming strategy: throw out a controversial dead cat, then wait for the outrage from the opposition, then attack them as being against the will of the people......which right wing supporters can vent their anger at.

Boris Johnson tries it every week against Starmer.

"You aren't supporting this government in its fight against the virus blah blah blah"


So no, registering ones position is not as simple as it seems against a govt that thrives on populist narrative, divide and conquer, tribalism etc
