They’ve got more important matters to investigate. E.g. Should holding left leaning political opinions be crimialised?

“I want to look at the way anti-democracy, anti-capitalist far-Left fringe groups in Britain, like the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), tend to have much more success hijacking important causes and mainstream cultural activity than the far-Right, and the harm that may do," he said.

Lord Walney also raised concerns that the leadership of Black Lives Matter UK have “pushed a very hardline and absolutist view” about defunding the police, which he predicted was “a world away from where the vast majority of BLM [supporters] would be”.

That niche agenda “risks taking attention away from really legitimate and urgent debates on reform which may need to be had” about racism and wider society, he said.

My intro was flippant, but I honestly don’t know how to read this article (quoting the person leading the inquiry) except that he considers the SWP and the opinion to defund the police, as things in themselves worthy of new laws to prevent or disrupt.

Where’s my BBC article?

Me: Please give me a million pounds says me

I say it would really boost my finances once restrictions ease.

I think the Queen is sitting further away from him at lunches or something like that, drastic action indeed.

Exactly, it used to happen with cricket tours. Yeah, we sell them weapons, continue to have supportive diplomatic and economic ties, but the Jockey Club needs to watch itself!
