Disagreement is fine but the levels of hatred, misinformation & dehumanisation of Tories leads to this. This isn’t okay or healthy. ‘Tory Scum’ has been a tired utterance of the Left for years (looking at you Angela Rayner) so it’s shameful it’s used threateningly here.

The BBC said terrorists in regards to 9/11 and 7/7. The articles are still up. The definition of a terrorist is someone who uses unlawful violence against civilians for political aims. Not wanting to take sides 🤔 Between violent men and murdered babies? Sure, stay neutral
British politicians know perfectly well why the BBC avoids the word ‘terrorist’, and over the years plenty of them have privately agreed with it. Calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides and ceasing to treat the situation with due impartiality. The BBC’s job is to
