   this is the danger that has been warned about for decades, with a democracy once the minorities demographics start shifting to majorities more and more laws will be created that benefit that demographic and the uk will slowly become more autocratic as time goes on with more and more liberties stolen from the people in the name of one movement or another

   Tory veteran MP Sir David Davis, a longstanding campaigner foor civil rights who once resigned his seat in protest over government authoritarianism during Tony Blair’s government, expressed his disappointment at the prime minister’s response. He posted on X (formerly Twitter): “For centuries, one of the most important features of Britain’s freedom of speech is the absolute right to criticise religion. Freedom of speech is fundamental to everything we have and everything we stand for. I regret Keir Starmer did not make that clear to Mr Ali at PMQs.”

   Journalist and former peer Matt Ridley described it as a “black day”. He said: “A truly black moment for Britain to hear a prime minister effectively endorse the idea that we should reintroduce blasphemy laws.”

     @Ladyfat Next thing Starmer will be fannying around in a Burka, can pretend he's a tranny, my identity innit. Seriously though, this is really bad stuff, we are in some dangerous waters now, and have a weak Govt that hates us.

     @HebrideanHecate All this has been a long time coming.
     Instead of MPs who can listen to evidence, viewpoints, information, historical precedent etc and take time to think about consequences and understand that laws should be made with caution, we have a series of emotional incontinents , swayed by every sob story and crafted narrative, and desperate to show empathy by pandering to every fashionable cause.
     This isn't just about *Islamophobia.* Exactly the same playbook was used for the genderwoo, the climate scam, convid, DIE, etc etc. These treacherous scum take the coin to promote the interests of the serious money while pretending that they're compassionate souls.
     This is about the quality of the people who are selected for us to vote for. They advertise their incompetence daily, yet people remain surprised that the idiot they voted for shows himself to be an idiot.
