I'm not falling for that again!
It's not BTW*. You can think what you like, you just can't necessarily act on it. The law's always been like that.
*double BTW, it's actually 'crimethink' in 1984. Key part of the story is how newspeak removes words from the vocab to make expressing dissent literally impossible, which seems the opposite of what we have now
Define "Islamophobia".
Not really sure what you're driving at.
You seem to be suggesting mass censorship of a radical Islam attack? When in reality there's no evidence that occurred and seemingly some statements that the attacker explicitly
isn't Muslim?
There wqs certainly a big instance of fake news spreading on social media claiming the attack was perpetrated by a Muslim. Maybe that's where this whole Islamophobia thing is coming from?

I personally don't recall ever having my thoughts policed.
You're gonna have to explain slowly how operation early dawn proves government plans regarding Thoughtcrime. Have people been locked up for thinking now? I thought it was for setting fire to stuff and looting.
Yeah ok fair point, I have been addressing multiple points simultaneously.
So: thought crime and Islamophobia.
Ignore the proposition that the horrific and savage murder of innocent children was either terrorism, radical Islamism or racially motivated. We do not know and most likely will never know. There is, as I have suggested, a valid argument to be made that such inflammatory factual information should be withheld from public view. I do not subscribe to that argument but we digress.
The Labour party are currently proposing that Islamophobia is a form of racism. An idiotic premise since neither islamism nor "Muslimism" is a racial type. However, such a definition does make "Islamophobia" a crime if conflated with existing laws against espousing racist ideologies.
Not only that but they have also accepted the Muslim council of Britain (!) definition of islamophobia. That forbids for example criticising the absurd dress code that this religion imposes on women. Forbids criticism of misogynistic behaviour (does that include wife beating??).
TBH you can see this shit for yourself. I don't know how it affects our current laws on child mutilation or how far our Labour leaders will bend the knee to Sharia law but it is a slippery slope to the Uk becoming an Islamic state. Once an area becomes controlled by a Muslim council, we don't ever get it back. It is a one way ticket back into the dark ages if you ask me.
