Tory MP calls for Just Stop Oil to be a ‘proscribed organisation’. Fascism arrives as your friend
In the House of Commons on 23rd November Tory MP Gareth Johnson called for Just Stop Oil to be made a proscribed organisation. That would mean supporting it would be a criminal act. The Prime Minister declined to agree but underlined that Suella Braverman’s various efforts to ban protest could deal with the matter.
An authoritarian Government is not the same as a fascist one but you don’t need a weatherman…

Q6. Last month, Just Stop Oil clambered up the Dartford crossing, causing chaos for days. It then attacked artworks, the M25 and anything else it could to cause misery and mayhem. These people are not protesters; they are criminals. Will the Prime Minister therefore consider making Just Stop Oil a proscribed organisation so that it can be treated as the criminal organisation it is? (Unique identification number 902417)
The Prime Minister
The kinds of demonstrations that we have seen recently disrupt people’s daily lives, cause mass misery for the public and put people in danger. The police have our full support in their efforts to minimise this disruption and tackle reckless and illegal activity. The Public Order Bill will give them the powers they need. I look forward to seeing the support that the Bill receives from every part of this House.
Fascism: I sometimes fear…
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you…
It doesn’t walk in saying,
“Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution.”
