    Things that Liz Truss thinks are equivalent:

    “Far left” activists unveiling poster of a googlyeye lettuce.

    Far right activists burning down hotels housing refuges; looting bakeries for sausage rolls.

    Has she missed all the rioting in England by far-right activists?

    How is that better than a banner being slowly revealed?

      “If everyone is covered in mud, it makes it less obvious that you’re covered in shit.”

      This is Liz and her cohort trying to “both sides!!” away the behaviour they incited.

      It’s crab-bucket PR: if they can get enough of the media saying how bad the left is, it makes the right-wing pogroms less horrifying.

      Trump did the same thing post-Charlottesville, conflating BLM and Antifa with the rich-setting, “Jews will not replace us” chanting, protestor-merdering neo-nazis who supported him.

    You didn’t have to storm off because there was a picture of a lettuce behind you.

    Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far right?

    No, we would just laugh at them.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
