I’m an armchair anarchist
No energy to follow through
Whilst the law tells me
What I can and cannot do
I’m an armchair anarchist
Who’s no threat to you
Passively sitting
Awaiting my cue…
But when the law tells me
What I can and cannot think
Then you bulldoze me
Towards the brink
When the law tells me
What I can and cannot say
Then you leave me
With no middle way….
Just did the http://defendfreespeech.org.uk/ extremism test. I’ve proudly scored 80%. To get 100 I’d have to break the law. Funny thing is though, that isn’t seen as compliance enough. Cameron is quoted as saying “For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone. It’s often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that’s helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance. This Government will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach”.
Oh dear. The opposite of “passive tolerance” looks like active intolerance to me. If that is the rationale and reasoning behind Extremism Disruption Orders then
They better slap one on me
Before I leave my chair
And take a pee.
There is a line. The lack of clarity around an EDO means I don’t know if a line has been crossed. I’m guessing it’s safer to assume so than not.
Welcome to the United Kingdom of Dystopia
I wasn’t expecting Utopia
Just a cornucopia
Diversity in all things
Monocultures are doomed to perish and die.
