Sorry, but why are we wasting time worrying about teens on TikTok when clearly the real at-risk group was right-wing adults on X.
Am not sure Prevent was really designed for that, alas…
I do not think tens of millions of Brits are on the verge of supporting a revolution
Only about 28,250,000 people even bothered to vote last year in the entire UK, so if it’s tens of millions that must include most of them
Harry Cole’s twitter timeline is quite something… But Morgan McSweeney seems to think Harry and Calgie are very serious people representing salt of the earth voters, so what is one to do?
I'm not sure about the "fizzling out" part for the annual gish gallop, but you're definitely correct to point out that one of the most "at risk" groups happen to be adults for RW indoctrination. Same kinds that took their kids to the anti-everything rallies and became radicalized pre-xitter.
I know these idiots favourite lines always include the word "we" as if they represent everyone, not just thickos. But millions, is pushing it a bit.
“Right wing adults on X.”
I think you mean Right Wing journalists and Commentators.
There’s a right wing fire in their kitchen and labour are instead focusing on stamping out the lefties, whilst the fire is raging, and they keep fanning it with “we understand these protestors and they are right to riot outside hotels”.
Strategy and direction of absolutely useless technocrats.
The echo chamber these people live in had them convinced Reform would win the last election.
It's multichannel. It's everywhere, it's in your pocket. WhatsApp, Telegram,... groups. Peer to peer propaganda. Facebook. YouTube. Analysis/Philosophy 'soft' commentators, discrediting the democratic system. Instagram. Lifestyle associated to ideology. Reddit... Quick spread at low cost.
Extraordinary take after yet another weekend in the dog days of August in which the supposed “nationwide rallies” have fizzled, yet again, despite every effort to stoke them.
They can't crack down on X for fear of Trump, Musk, Vance etc. Palestine Action on the other hand...
💯
Not enough is being made of the fact that the Anglo American right has gone completely off the rails.
Perhaps we should start referring edgelord663 and BritishPatreot1066 to Prevent
Genuinely think we do need some sort of deradicalisation. Shutting down twitter would be a start
