Wait until the new extremism definition kicks in. "Undermining" or "overturning" "British values".
“The promotion or advancement of any ideology which aims to overturn or undermine the UK’s system of parliamentary democracy, its institutions and values; or threaten the rights of individuals or create a permissive environment for radicalization, hate crime and terrorism.”
The whole point is to make the definition vague and statutory (ie. decided or controlled by law) so anything that is critical of the Government, scrutinises them or they deem "hateful" can be classified as extremism. It will also outlaw political opposition. You may have noticed recently that Labour has pivoted toward being the Red Tories and the Tories have attempted to oust those who are on the right of the party (such as Suella Braverman and Lee Anderson). There will be no place in future for political opposition, criticism or scruitiny. And of the biggest advocates of that on the right is Tommy Robinson, a constant thorn in the side of the Government.
Robinson will be the first to lose citizenship should the Government wish to strip censorship from anyone who violates that definition, even if it makes them stateless. Then he becomes someone else's problem. After that, JK Rowling.
At a time where they're under pressure to shut the borders electronically from American social media conglomerates who are "causing tragedies like Molly Russell and Brianna Ghey" in order to create a regulated, state controlled national Intranet "to protect the children". If activists get their way, the likes of Robinson will have to flee the country and won't be able to communicate into the country as the UK will have mounted a walled garden with border checks electronically.
