I’m going to start saying shooters “had Harry Potter literature” in their homes, as if it’s indicative of anything.
You need to be more vague while being technically correct, posession of the Harry Potter series whether as books, audio files or DVDs allows you to freely pick from: racist, chauvinist, misogynist, homophobic, social darwinist, anti-semitic, anti-Asian, anti-Black, pro-slavery, transphobic and fatphobic. Also Blairite, liberal rules-lawyering and pro cop, but these are unfortunately not as loaded as they would deserve to be.
Also, try pamphlets or screeds or manifestos instead of literature.
When the news broke that they’re now investigating this as a terrorism offence I presumed the suspect must have had a Palestinian flag or something.
War and Peace is Russian literature.
What is communist literature and why is it considered terrorism to be reading it?
What is communist literature
Manufacturing Consent, Animal Farm and a printed issue of the Guardian.
I don’t think it’s the reading, but the murder that’s considered to be terrorism. They just think that because of the literature, he may be a communist. Whether that is relevant to the murder or not remains to be seen. Would have been better if he’d offed Nigel Farage.
Isn’t it only terrorism when it’s politically motivated? That is, it’s a murder, but if they found “communist literature” then now it’s being boom politically motivated terrorism and can be charged as such
Until they release what the books are, it doesn’t say anything about the suspect’s beliefs. I’m sure plenty of people have some literature by a communist because a lot of classic or influential lit was penned by a communist. If you’ve got a bookshelf full of obscure Verso books then sure, probably a lefty, but a few classic books that happen to be by communists doesn’t say anything lol.
Edit: not sure if it came across this way but I’m not arguing with you to be clear—I’m sure you haven’t jumped to the conclusion that the suspect is a communist. Just commenting is all.
No, I’m not saying he is, just letting everyone know what is being reported.
farage might be the easiest it’s ever been for a prole to get away with murdering a politician. stuff the corpse in a bin and they’ll waste all their time with the count instead of looking for the real killer.
actually i think it’s generally legal to say if Ann Widdecombe wasn’t dead i’d kill her.
i can think of better targets but get who you can get i guess.
“cops”
