    UK government proscribes Palestinian support as terrorism, but not these far-right groups, because the UK government has always been a government primarily for white people’s right to kill people of color.

    The UK government has committed more atrocities and terroristic acts than Hamas.

      Let’s be fair to the UK. They’ve also always been very fond of killing and supressing the Irish and Scots.

        If there’s one thing that living in that country during the Leave Referendum has taught me, is that Racism in Britain is far more fine grained than merelly skin color: basically there is a prevalent idea amongst mainly the English (also amongst those of the other nations, but it’s less common) that they’re inherently superior to everybody else but Americans.
