Now, caveat, this is the guardian and the guardian readers are the biggest middle class leftists you've ever seen and the observer follows closely behind but I do think this poll is fairly significant.
In terms of the severity of the response, 44% think the government has reacted proportionately to the outbreaks of violence and unrest and 26% think it didn’t go far enough. Only 18% believed ministers had overreacted. There was a similar view on the sentences handed out, with some 70% thinking they were either about right or not harsh enough.
While Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, has been criticising the UK’s approach to arresting those found to have been inciting online, the public appear to disagree. Musk has described Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions in England and Wales, as being part of “The Woke Stasi”. However, 67% of voters said it was fair that people had been arrested for inciting racial hatred on social media, with 15% disagreeing.
Basically a chunk of the normies think they didn't go hard enough on the rioters and that's one thing but they fucking advocate for people to be persecuted online just for shitposting and venting frustration which is what most people who have been arrested were doing contrary to what the media think but apparently that's how much the conversation has shifted. The average member of the public thinks that if you simply have a negative opinion about migration you are dangerous and should be locked up.
I fucking denounce my country and wash my hands of it, especially with the TERFs now on the march against single men just for being single and refusing to date them which is what their screeching is really about. For the record, I do believe the unrest will continue and people will try to fight back, but if the normies are this far gone and think people should be arrested over social media posts this country is done.
Call me black pilled and a doomer, I am, if you're in the UK gtfo fast or make plans now, this is going to get far worse than I anticipated if the public are on side with this bullshit and I think they are.
I pray this is more the Guardian readership being a small, mostly London demographic trying to act like they speak on behalf of the population as if not UK's fucked.
And I don't mean in a '1984' kind of fucked, I mean you will constantly tred on the boots of those that are HIGHLY militant and want to be left alone with your virtue signalling and you will have NO way to fight back.
Basically you're going to piss off the Irish who are already burning shit down and they'll start burning and bombing shit in England.
The UK is heading towards this future as you have a two tier police too scared to deal with violent criminals and increasingly militant groups realising they don't have the resources to stop them.
Oh honestly I think Muslim caliphates will be declared next year and the Irish will be uniting and it will be open season against the police at least in that country plus if any construction sites for migrants go up they're going to burn that down instantly.
The normies in the UK though? They're going to virtue signal themselves to death. Fun fact as well regarding Britain's quirks, a lot of Londoners have posh country homes in Wales they go on holiday to. I think after they've ruined London they're going to move to Wales next and you'll see it happen en masse. When Sadiq Khan started getting really hard on the lockdowns in London a lot of the shit heads were openly filmed getting on the train and leaving.
It's like every left wing enclave, they vote for this shit, the area gets completely ruined beyond any help and then they move onto another nicer area where they repeat the process again like fucking locusts. It's the south park little country hick town meme on steroids.
It was something that Andrew Klavan was noticing when he lived in London even in the 1990's, and he has talked about it frequently. That he would have British people always talking to him about how Americans are too brash and uncouth, but then he noticed that they would roll over for practically every situation seemingly for no other reason than they dont want to make a fuss (as that would be "uncivilized"). So he has been saying he saw this coming for a while.
Leafs too.
At least the Bongs had a rich & powerful history to be proud of.
The entire Canadian identity essentially boils down to a smug inferiority complex about "not being Americans".
Yet they are obsessed with their goyslop reality TV culture. And mindlessly import any gay race communism astroturfed protest movement without a hint of irony.
It's important to note that almost all of the Crown Loyalist either fled to Canada or were forcibly removed from the colonies. Canada, and the other Commonwealth nations, are largely bootlickers. They claim the woke virus is an American export (not entirely wrong) but at the same time embrace it, reinforce it, and turn it up to 11.
As bad as things in the US have gotten we are way behind CA, AU, NZ.
This is one of the things I've despised about having to live among leftists because in Britain they pull that shit constantly especially when it comes to guns. They have no fucking clue and yet will virtue signal even as children are raped and stabbed over here. I also have a particular hatred about the brainwashing the average normie has gone under because of the NHS.
If the TikTok nurses and ClapForNHS campaign wasn't enough of a giveaway I don't know what to tell you, I can't stand it.
