#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheIndependentLizzieDearden "Right-wing extremism poses the fastest growing terror threat to the UK, the head of British counterterror police has said.
Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said around 10 per cent of 800 live investigations now involve far-right extremists - a 'significant increase' on previous years.
'It's my fastest growing problem,' he told journalists in central London.
However he added that Islamist jihadism was 'still by far globally the biggest threat people face'.
'It has stabilised at a very high level of 30 per cent more than two years ago,' Mr Basu said. 'The extreme right wing is starting from a very low base but a 17 per cent rise in hate crime should make us all pause for thought.'
Mr Basu said that rising Islamophobic, antisemitic and racist abuse can be seen as a 'proxy' for increasing extremism, and must be tackled to reduce the terror threat." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/terror-attack-plots-uk-far-right-wing-extremism-threat-met-police-neil-basu-a9112046.html

"Problem is Kung-flu is a masterful piece of lampooning, that lost art which saw Victorians cartooning farting Kings and politicians in Punch magazine. The PC world, the hijackers of words like ISLAMOPHOBE (of sound provenance dating back to Greek in use 1300 years before Mohammed in a New Testament reference to FEAR of the Jews, of all things), the Woke, the BAME (who know not Wilberforce) the genderfluids, the misandrists, the feminista- shortlista's have destroyed the kind of satirical comedy of TWTWTW, Monty Python, Spitting Image (even Dad's Army, 'Allo,'Allo and Hi-de- hi)."

Trump has repeatedly tried to term Covid-19 as the 'Chinese virus' or the 'Wuhan virus' which has prompted outrage from many civil liberties groups, who have warned that such language can inspire racism and violence against Asian Americans. But in Tulsa Trump appeared to go even further in his use of racist language. 'It has more names than any disease in history. I can name kung flu. I can name 19 different versions of names,' he said to cheers from the crowd. Trump has previously defended his language around linking the virus to China.

Through displaced abjection, we see how the Trump carnival is centered on licensing and encouraging transgressions against specific democratic norms that affirm human dignity and equality.

Addendum this justification has multiple problems. It seeks to conflate genuine satire (related to the criticism of imbalances of power) with Trump's ham-fisted racial slur. And then, it attempts to justify the bullying by using #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTradition (as if the process of repeating a slur transforms it into critique). It then uses a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism to justify #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim through conflating it with #OtheringHateAntisemitism (as if the forms of discrimination are somehow opposed to each other - rather than simply being two different forms - and so, are able to cancel each other out). It then attempts to pass off a generalised attack on various issues, which have received significant profile contemporarily i.e. #_CondemnationGender followed up with a plug for some dated #LiteralClassicBritishTV (whose humour is the product of the time when they were produced).
