Trump Farage fake patriots

🔸Rightly, the narrow definition for ‘terrorism’ will come under scrutiny. It is outdated.
🔸We have boxed ourselves in with word play, risking public harm, as seen more than once in Britain over recent years.
🔸It can also lead, often wrongly, to opportunist claims of cover-up.
And one our 15yo took alongside me on his iPhone 🙂
