Zauls Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/28/police-anti-extremism-unit-monitoring-green-party-caroline-lucas-sian-berry?CMP=twt_a-politics_b-gdnukpolitics So this is quite disturbing. A police unit supposedly set up to counter violent extremism is instead prioritising the monitoring of senior members of a moderate left-wing political party.For those who aren't from the UK, the Green Party is a minor political party based on tackling wealth inequality, fighting austerity and combating climate change. None of them are criminals or extremists in any way, unless you're the government, which is the most far-right this country has ever had. It's scary times when moderate left-wing MPs, peaceful protesters and even doctors are portrayed as extremists and treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zauls Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 The "Extremists" term has gone way off the chart, anyone who do something 'against the law' can be considered an extremist..... These people have never even done anything against the law. They're peaceful political activists, party members and MPs. None of them have criminal records, save Caroline Lucas MP, who is on record for the "crime" of peaceful public protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
