The Hump of the Camel

paid-up Well, since I can see that the game is up, as the authorities trawl through the internet and efficiently mop up old ladies making angry tweets, I know that real members of the Far-Right like me are on borrowed time in England. It’s clear that prison sentences of a couple of years for one Tweet of an opinion will be several times greater for those who antagonise justice by not pleading guilty. Or that’s what we see from the January 6 occupation in America – even thinking about attending a rally gets them solitary confinement for three years before trial – until they make a plea deal and become one of the 800 self-confessed unarmed insurrectionists. When America sneezes, Britain catches a cold. So it’s time to own up now and plan for my eventual release while I’ve still got time to pay into my State Pension.

Yesterday a consensus was developing across independent commentators that the “popular counter-protests” that drove the Far Right rioters off the streets of our cities were, in fact, a false flag operation. I agree.

I learned how heavy-handed policing can turn peaceful protests into a violent confrontations (making for establishment-useful headlines) during COVID. And I learned how there are sometimes suspicious connections between the forces of Laura Norder and protesters of all shades during the BLM demonstrations. And so it is that I record an impression I’ve been gaining since viewing some of the footage of recent riots. Perhaps you can inform me if you’ve noticed the same, or whether it’s just me.
