IDK..this argument seems daft to me as both sides are guilty of it all yet both try to make out its the other and only the other (not meaning people on here, about the uproar on twitter..

Boris does go way over the top though, didn't he say the negotiations with Ireland about the border were like putting on a suicide vest..or something along those lines? Ridiculous for any professinal, but definitely the PM. Needs to reign it in a bit and think before speaking, but hes not the only one..just the 'most powerful one' presently..

'Left Wing Terrorism' isn't the number 1 rising terrorist threat in the west right now, it's right wing terrorism. The difference between calling someone like Trump a Nazi (which is more than apt, considering the ****er literally has concentration camps full of immigrants) is that doing so isn't going to result in terrorism towards the right while Trump's own words have been inspiring mass shootings since he's been in office. The Brexiters making out that they're fighting some holy war creates targets of the people they oppose and an MP has already been slain by such rhetoric and Jo won't be the last at this rate.

You cannot play the centrist and say that both sides are as bad as each other when the right have blood on their hands and they are willing to protect the people who spilled that blood.
