    Things that Liz Truss thinks are equivalent:

    “Far left” activists unveiling poster of a googlyeye lettuce.

    Far right activists burning down hotels housing refuges; looting bakeries for sausage rolls.

      “If they’re brown, flush 'em down!” = “Look at silly lettuce lady.”

      – Trussy

    Has she missed all the rioting in England by far-right activists?

    How is that better than a banner being slowly revealed?

      “If everyone is covered in mud, it makes it less obvious that you’re covered in shit.”

      This is Liz and her cohort trying to “both sides!!” away the behaviour they incited.

      It’s crab-bucket PR: if they can get enough of the media saying how bad the left is, it makes the right-wing pogroms less horrifying.

      Trump did the same thing post-Charlottesville, conflating BLM and Antifa with the rich-setting, “Jews will not replace us” chanting, protestor-merdering neo-nazis who supported him.

    I assume far right would have stormed the stage thrown racial slurs around and venerated Liz Truss as the 2nd coming.

    But that is just an assumption just like her assumption that she could run an economy.

    I wonder why it feels different when “far right” activists disrupt a public event? Hmmm, hmmmmm I guess it’s a mystery

    Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far right?

    No, we would just laugh at them.
