Can we label these chuds "terrorists" yet? No, neo-nazis being killed is "heart-breaking"? Kier is filled with "grief and anger".
Terrorist is reserved for Palestine supporters don't cha know
At the very least, racists.
I'm getting sick of reading about "anti-immigration protesters" clashing with "anti-racism protesters"... last time I checked, the opposite of "anti-racism" was "racism".
They're not anti-immigration protesters anyway, I'm sure they're all in favor of them immigrating to Spain. But I guess when they do it it's okay.
They're literally just been racist thugs. If the UK had zero immigration they'd still find something to be unhappy about, they're just using immigration as an excuse for being violent
Well, precisely. If they get their way and never have to see a brown person again, it'll be the transes next, then the gays and disableds and anyone neurodiverse, and then... women, I guess?
And they still won't be happy, because they're too fucking thick to see that it's ultra-rich people they should be angry with. 😬 Omg what a magical time to be alive.
Obviously he couldn't have sounded pleased about his death, but at the same time he also didn't really need to make any kind of comment at all.
If we making statements every time an American kills another American we're going to be at it all day. It's not like he was even a politician, he was just some random guy.
There was a school shooting the same day. Starmer could have expressed anger and grief for that instead of the white supremacist. Many things he could have done, he did what he did.
