Extremists don’t help their cause

- Colin Bullen

Events have confirmed the true nature of the activist movements that have inflicted their opinions on us recently, making clear that they are the direct descendant­s of similar past organisati­ons, such as CND, and the Greenham Common women, the majority of whose followers were at best naive and gullible, and, given the reality of what eventually happened, completely wrong.

The absurdity of the existence of such organisati­ons as ‘Queers for Palestine’, when Islamic states

jail, or even execute sexual minorities, and the stupidity of women supporting Islamic states who, whenever they can, treat them as second class citizens, is obvious to all but those involved. In addition, that child saint of the Green movement, Greta Thunberg has stated that “there can be no climate justice on occupied land”, no doubt not noticing that China has occupied Tibet for decades. Just what has the dubious theory of climate change got to do with the issue of Hamas thugs attacking defenceles­s babies?

A prominent ‘trans activist’ praised Osama Bin Laden’s attack on the US in September 2001 as “one of the most principled and defensible things he has done”, a statement which raises the question of what Islamic terrorism has to do with sexual politics. Some members of Just Stop Oil, and Extinction Rebellion also weighed in against Israel, while unsurprisi­ngly Stop the War takes a one-sided, pro-hamas approach to the war in Gaza.

Those decent people who are tempted to support this collection of agitators, and extremists, for what they believe to be good reasons, should think very carefully about whether they really want to associate themselves with the latter.
