Britain is shutting down the voices the government doesn’t want to hear, always on pretexts but always for contradicting the government’s narrative. From Jonathan Cook at consortiumnews.com:
The raid on investigative journalist Asa Winstanley isn’t about terrorism, writes Jonathan Cook – except that of the U.K. government. It is about scaring us into staying silent on Britain’s collusion in Israel’s genocide.
The U.K. government and police — the British state — made clear Thursday they are waging a war of intimidation against the country’s independent journalists in a desperate attempt to silence them.
Ten Metropolitan police officers made a dawn raid on the home of investigative journalist Asa Winstanley and seized his electronic devices under the U.K.’s draconian Terrorism Act. A letter from the Met indicates that the associate editor of The Electronic Intifada is being investigated by the force for “encouraging terrorism.”
Winstanley is the latest — and most high profile – independent journalist to be targeted by counter-terrorism police in recent weeks. Earlier, Richard Medhurst was arrested at Heathrow airport on returning to the U.K. Then Sarah Wilkinson was arrested and her home ransacked.

Winstanley has repeatedly embarrassed the British establishment by exposing its covert and deep ties to Israel and its collusion with the Israeli lobby.
Like the spoiled child that covers its ears and says I can’t hear you.
These ideas and thoughts will hurt you ideological facade, comrade. (H/T-Herr Kapitanleutnant zur See)
That P.J. O’ Rourke quote about comrade liberal is the best ever, sniveling shit miserable insufferable brats who have never been told NO or had a punch in the mouth.
These stories sound like something out of NSDAP Germany or CCCP Russia and that is why they quit teaching history, in order to repeat it.
