I knew my response would draw a self righteous rant from you, it’s what you do when someone suggests something that you don’t seem to be able to comprehend.
As Eric said, we’re clearly not living in a time of goose stepping, holocaust causing dictatorship, but, as I’ve mentioned before on here, we’re in a time when it’s become easier to see how people were taken in by fascism in the 1930s.
You ask about examples of evil, well, let’s start with the thread title. Sticking homeless people on a barge so it’s twice as full as what should be its capacity, making a point of emphasising how “basic” the accommodation will be and then ignoring advice from the medical profession that the conditions on the barge will be a health risk is a good place to start. Second, you clearly think the Rwanda policy is not evil, there are those who disagree with you. Thirdly, I cannot even begin to comprehend a mind set that orders that cartoons be painted over at a centre where refugee children are housed.
This is a Government that it’s generally accepted caused deaths with their cuts to benefits to the disabled around a decade ago, we are a country where the gap between richest and poorest has grown substantially during its time in power and where life expectancy was falling in the years before the pandemic. I took care to say that Governments of all colours do some things that could be considered evil (Blair’s line on weapons of mass destruction for example), but this lot have done more than most.
