British govt to extend "War on Terror" to non-violent protest groups

[Jan Klimkowski]

insisting on a strategy centred upon the notion that violent extremism is incubated within the ideology of non-violent extremism.

Say What.....

In George Orwell's 1984, "Blackwhite" is defined as follows:

" ...this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. "
Orwell, 1984

So, dear Keith, now that the British Prime Minister has declared that "violent extremism is incubated within the ideology of non-violent extremism", Brits should cease to engage in non-violent protest because by doing so they are "incubating" violent protest.

Incubate, definition:

1. To sit on (eggs) to provide heat, so as to promote embryonic development and the hatching of young; brood.
2.
a. To maintain (eggs, organisms, or living tissue) at optimal environmental conditions for growth and development.
b. To maintain (a chemical or biochemical system) under specific conditions in order to promote a particular reaction.

Under Cameron's insane definition, merely by discussing deep political action, this forum is presumably incubating violent protest against deep political actors.

Indeed, we are the battery hens of protest....
