I don't usually agree with David Aaronovitch, but in this case he's spot on.
As for Murray's article: "But it does not change the bigger picture in which it becomes increasingly clear that the far-left and their allies in Britain are prepared to do and say absolutely anything in order to win."
It's as if the far-right, or even the moderate right, don't do this. This is modern politicking employed by both sides, however much we dislike it, and it's disingenuous to imply it's solely the behaviour of the "far-left".
He does raise some good points, and I know he's raised the issue of Saudi Arabia in funding Wahhabism, but he refuses to criticise the unintended consequences of Western foreign policy in giving these extremists more armament to their sick cause.
As with Islamic fundamentalism, there needs to be serious acknowledgement of the growth of far-right extremism in this country. The two go hand-in-hand. Has he explored why there may be a rise in Islamophobic hate crimes and violence, or does he just limit his focus to Islamic fundamentalism? If it's the latter, then he's guilty of engaging in the same hypocrisy he claims to detest.
Nobody can deny that language has consequences; The Sun and the Daily Fail are both guilty of spewing out hate-filled propaganda that only escalates the problem. That Murray also writes for The Sun does him no favour.
It suits the US and UK governments to pit citizen against citizen. They're hoping that will distract us while they strip our civil liberties and plunder publicly owned assets to sell to the private sector.

No context. Just a picture of a van parked with 'Read the Sun' on the side of it.
I'm not sure why you're attacking me all the time. You were my best friend on here when we were agreeing about Brexit. Sigh, love is a fickle mistress.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Don't be silly now. You know I still love you. It's your hard on for anything anti Corbyn or labour that I find baffling. I reckon that orangey fella touched you and Darran up before he scuttled off......

Ian Paisley?
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

I know who he meant, mun. I had the untortunate pleasure of being in charge of liasing with him for an event. Had severe retinal burns after it, making me feel like the wizard fella from Krull. He's not the most personable of people.

I was there on the night of the by-election count when he got in back in what was it, '91 or '92? Thereabouts. Quite a few of the rowdier Plaid lot had been at the pop and had a go at him. That was quite comical to watch.

Iiiiiiiin one, a personal home computer.
Spot on. I can't quite fathom that people still believe the US/UK 'governments' still care about their respective populaces. They serve one country alone. Anyone with half a brain may have an inkling.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.
The likes of Owen Jones, Abi Wilkinson and Polly Toynbee are no less ludicrous than the likes of Littlejohn, Hitchens and Hopkins.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
Not really. They just hate the same people you do.
