New extremism definition unveiled by government
« on: March 14, 2024, 10:51:26 AM »
Arguably the comments by Hester, Anderson, Braverman, and indeed Sunak fall under this. Is the Tory Party extremist?


Personally, I would just have gone for 'a bit smelly' as the definition.

Headline pinched from The Guardian:

Michael Gove on extremism: the imperturbable in pursuit of the indefinable

That about covers it.
