Seems the BBC significantly exaggerated the Home Office case here, both in their wording on Twitter and on the broadcast itself. Home Office lawyers did *not* say this, which would be politically toxic, and play right into the hands of you know who. >

This sounds like an intro to the Jeremy Vine show😆

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

THIS IS WHY

Absolutely damning.

Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.

Exempt from all.
