Now all I need is a legit lawyer to explain it like I'm stupid all the BS reasons this doesn't apply to White Supremacist activity in general and why MAGA WS insurrectionists Jan 6th attack on US Cap aren't charged w/the above.

Although Id beg to differ (see Patriot Act; start at # 5) mid-way down under DOMESTIC TERRORISM
But I digress

Ok so I'll go with "we don't have domestic terrorism (DT) law" but we have others WS/WS affiliated group activity falls under. Does that mean we don't
11/
charge WS WP as long as there's no DT law on t/books or do we charge them constitutionally until there are?

B/c looking at existing law/constitution, sure looks like alotta WP excusing no charges b/c no DT law like that's this falls under

More from Government

This article by Jim Spellar for @LabourList misses the point about why Labour needs to think seriously about constitutional reform - and have a programme for it ready for government.


The state of our constitution is a bit like the state of the neglected electric wiring in an old house. If you are moving into the house, sorting it out is a bit tedious. Couldn’t you spend the time and money on a new sound system?

But if you ignore the wiring, you’ll find that you can’t safely install the new sound system. And your house may well catch fire.

Any programme for social democratic government requires a state with capacity, and a state that has clear mechanisms of accountability, for all the big and all the small decisions that in takes, in which people have confidence.

That is not a description of the modern UK state.
