She was made an example of, it's a deterrent, like some will argue that people blocking roads or rioting or inciting stuff on facebook getting jail sentences is unfair...all deterrents. Don't do it.

 

One rule for one person in society and a different rule for another is inherently unfair. 

 

And yeah, nationalism is a key trait of fascism. People don't tend to call themselves fascists since the 40s, but it is what it is.

Latest on the BBC website:

 

Nigel Farage meets Elon Musk at Trump's Retreat 😂

 

I'm trying to be neutral in this discussion, but the way Farage cosies up to Trump is very reminiscent of how certain people acted towards a certain dictator in the 30s.

 

What do you reckon? Next PM there thanks to Musk’s blood money?

I think there needs to be a standard of protest/humiliation against politicians that is considered acceptable. It's worth emphasising that when Ed Miliband got egged, he laughted it off and treated it as a nothing - and eggs are actually more dangerous than milkshakes.

 

I don't really mind if throwing milkshakes is banned, as long as something is made explicitly legal as an act of not-violent but disruptive protest against individual politicians.

I would be fine with people getting sentence for egging politicians, there are ways of disruptive protest without touching someone. We want people to stand for politics and it’s only right that the law protects them. If we open the door a little, people will try and ram through it. We also shouldn’t go down the route of thinking that’s it’s ok to do to certain politicians and not others.

 

Im not sure what the person who did this really achieved, maybe getting likes and shares on social media is all they wanted?

yeah, but I don't think Trump is a fascist either.

 

He did try to overthrow the government lol.

 

As for Farage as PM, I'd start to get worried if he jumped ship to the Conservative party

Apparently the guy who egg'ed Corbyn got 28 days. It seems to have got the "two tier Keir" stuff going on twitter again anyway.

Yes, he lost an election and tried to cease power by force. That sounds pretty fascist to me.

not all coups are fascist.

(and arguably he didn't try to seize power by force, he just kind of incited it and then didn't do anything to stop it).
