My mistake. I don't know how I missed that second part. That makes it a little less abhorrent.
I don’t want to speak on behalf of anyone here but the idea of comparing some of the stuff that we’ve seen over a this pandemic with the actions of terror groups isn’t anything particularly new and isn’t as baseless as it might seem.
Off the top of my head:
- People block booking vaccinations
- Piers Corbin arrested for inciting arson
- Kate Shemerani comparing NHS staff to Nazis
There’s tonnes more but I’m making my point I think, it’s not a million miles away is it when you’re delivering that message either via Twitter to millions or standing on a stage doing it with a mass of people watching. Of course it’s nothing like the same as the absolute worst we’ve seen from terror factions across the world but the ethos is similar (albeit in this case they’re inciting it rather than delivering it).
