The hotel is empty. 

No money changes hands until the first person goes in.

It doesn't cost £400/200 pp or anything like it, £8.

Factually incorrect. What does the £8 figure even mean.

My initial statement was that it wasn't the full story, you charge in and try to put your own twist on things

You haven’t answered the question in any way shape or form.

The police escort people when they think it is necessary

Seems even fellow police officers are questioning this decision in regards the Essex commander’s actions.

Does that help? If not I have some play-doh or some colouring in that you can do  no scissors though. 

The arrogance of the left means nothing.

Talking of Thickos, hasn't this been explained about 3 or 4 times above and still they cannot understand that the Essex police were doing a standard procedure when it comes to crowd control?

Ah blagger alerts 🤷‍♂️is it a day for loose ends maybe ?? 
Aren’t you supposed to be at work, remember tax payers money is paying your wages blagger. 

Essex police were doing what ??
Standard procedure you say ??

You sure about that blagger ??. 
If you enlightened and educated superior types want a good read you should check out Professor Frank Furedi. Not racist Not far right but more common sense in his little finger than most commentators on the subject.

Correct. Because it isn't arrogance you attribute to those on the 'left'. It's fear that you'll have to express yourself honestly. 

That's the thing with the fash, they lack spines. They like to hide behind whataboutery, diversion,  and thinly veiled winks and nudges.

 

its a bit sad living a lie. Own it.

1. Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible”

leader who never admits mistakes.

2. Political power derived from questioning reality, endorsing myth and rage, and promoting lies.

3. Fixation with perceived national decline, humiliation, or victimhood.

4. White Replacement “Theory” used to show that democratic ideals of freedom and equality are a threat.

Oppose any initiatives or institutions that are racially, ethnically, or religiously harmonious.

5. Disdain for human rights while seeking purity and cleansing for those they define as part of the nation.

6. Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority

group leaders.

7. Supremacy of the military and embrace of paramilitarism in an uneasy, but effective

collaboration with traditional elites. Fascists arm people and justify and glorify violence as “redemptive”.

8. Rampant sexism.

9. Control of mass media and undermining “truth”.

10. Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack.

11. Religion and government are intertwined.

12. Corporate power is protected and labor power is suppressed.

13. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts not aligned with the fascist narrative.

14. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Loyalty to the leader is paramount and often more important than competence.

15. Fraudulent elections and creation of a one-party state.

16. Often seeking to expand territory through armed conflict.

Appeal? Why does this become permissible?

Trauma allows for the embrace of the irrational. Escapism fosters a minimum of self-respect and the ability to vent judgement against a world in

which people cannot exist with dignity. Traditional lifestyles are uprooted or threatened by technological changes, wealth inequity, and unequal

access to goods and services. Contempt for truth and reason reflects the despair of the follower who is socially and spiritually adrift and cynical.

Providing a coherent explanatory narrative and political rallies reinforces a sense of belonging and is fueled by confirmation bias. That things “just

happen” is unacceptable to the follower who, in turn, must believe the infallibility of the leader to reclaim their own pride and sense of worth.
