Napoleon is Always Right

Activists sneaked onto an RAF base three days ago and spray-painted a couple of aircraft which they presumed were being used in abetting the Palestinian genocide; Team Starmer has chosen to consider this a matter of national security rather than airbase security, and intends blacklisting the group as a terrorist organisation. Just as there are few worse antisemites than those who happen to be non-fascist, woke or Jewish, so there are few more deadly terrorists than those who object to blowing up civilians. Since the Palestinian genocide is au fond a commercial enterprise, it was the trade secretary who proclaimed that the protestors were Very Bad People Indeed; while a purged Corbynite stated, in the teeth of all available evidence, that harassing anyone who disagrees with the Government was "not what the counter-terrorism laws were introduced for." It fell to the Reverend Blair's post-Iraq Minister for Incarceration and Snoopery to put the moderate and sensible case that, while a single incident might not be sufficient grounds for proscription, the Government was considering prosecription so there must be sufficient grounds for it somewhere or other.
