Are the British government known for their violence?
- pjc50 8y agoNot in the absurd libertarian sense that the parent is using "violence" to mean "law enforcement", but ... shall we say that while it's not a common feature of everyday life and politics the British state is not above deploying violence against the public to suppress certain kinds of politics? Orgreave/Bloody Sunday/kettling etc etc? (Anyone remember the weird incident where MI5 insisted on the secure destruction of a Guardian laptop?)
- raxxorrax 8y agoYes?! The British government also creates fake news to sway the public to support the invasion of a foreign country.
