You've clearly both studied more than me, yet I still maintain that /for

Same gpes for your average animal liberation front or hunt saboteur, or

Or Corbyn supporter.


Once you decide that
Jews/Capitalists/toffs/abortionists/fascists/infidels/members of
UKIP/people with 4WD cars are 'scum', herding them into death camps
becomes the moral thing to do.


Refugee camps, immigrant camps, Calais for example, once you decide that
they are child molesters, scroungers and terrorists ... Our
grandchildren will wonder how we could be so complacent.


There are no guards keeping them there.
No one forced them to be there.
They are free to go to somewhere else.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
